POWER2
Realizes: server-class compute
General-purpose CPU lineage to PowerPC/POWER, POWER2 couples advanced superscalar, multi-issue pipelines and large caches in a high-frequency multi-chip module to deliver server-class compute for IBM RS/6000 and AS/400 deployments.

IBM RS/6000 990 rack tower (POWER2)
The 1993 RS/6000 990 rack tower paired 71.5 MHz POWER2 multi-chip modules with AIX to service enterprise database, scientific, and transaction workloads with SMP scaling and large memory configurations, delivering the high SPECint92/SPECfp92 numbers that reclaimed IBM's leadership in Unix servers.
