"The rest of the server world can play with their piddling 2-3GHz chips. IBM, meanwhile, is prepared to deal in the 5GHz realm. The hardware maker has unveiled a Power6-based version of its highest-end Unix server - the Power 595. The box runs on 32 dual-core 5GHz Power6 processors, making it a true performance beast. This big box completes a protracted roll out of the Power6 chip across IBM's Unix server line."

As far as I know, the 64 core version will run @ 4.2 GHz. That is what I am told from IBM engineers. But I don't think anyone cares about some 800Mhz...after all that thing has hardware FPU, and will probably kick the ass of few other vendors.
