overview
This chapter discusses the overall system architecture for the IBM Power 710 and Power 730,
represented by Figure 2-1 on page 24 and Figure 2-2 on page 25. The bandwidths that are
provided throughout this section are theoretical maximums used for reference.
The speeds shown are at an individual component level. Multiple components and application
implementation are key to achieving the best performance.
Always do the performance sizing at the application workload environment level and evaluate
performance using real-world performance measurements and production workloads.
