A customer has a significant investment in open source software for performing in-memory analytics. This
workload is currently deployed on Linux and recent x86 hardware.
What advantage would POWER8 Enterprise servers provide to this customer?

A.
Up to six times cache per core.

B.
Up to four times the cores per socket.

C.
Up to eight times the PCIe bandwidth.

D.
Up to ten times the ChipKill Correction rate.

Explanation:
POWER8 includes support for simultaneous multithreading with eight cores per thread (SMT-8). By
comparison, x86 systems are only capable of performing SMT-2. The ability to achieve four times the level of
per-core performance allows organizations to do more with less, which in turn allows them to decrease their
server footprint and potentially spend less on staffing, maintenance and troubleshooting.
