Performance by design
The IBM RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model S80 is the largest member of IBM's popular S family of 64-bit enterprise servers. It builds on the successful design of the S70 and S70 Advanced models by doubling the number of processors to 24, and tripling memory to 96 gigabytes (GB). And the S80 server is the first RS/6000 platform to feature the RS64 III microprocessors, based on IBM's state-of-the-art copper technology. The result is faster, more reliable processors.

The S80 system delivers more power for business applications with exceptional internal memory and external I/O bandwidth that can enhance throughput and help eliminate potential bottlenecks. And, performance enhancements in AIX 4.3.3 take full advantage of the S80's leading-edge design.
