IBM has announced a new line of data center chips and servers, introduced on Tuesday, designed to enhance power efficiency and streamline artificial intelligence integration within business operations. This marks the initial significant update to IBM’s “Power” chip line since 2020.

These new Power11 chips are specifically engineered for data centers, historically competing with offerings from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. IBM’s Power systems, similar to Nvidia’s AI servers, constitute an integrated package of both hardware chips and proprietary software. Tom McPherson, general manager of Power systems at IBM, stated that this integrated approach facilitated a focus on system reliability and security. The Power11 systems will be commercially available starting July 25.

The Power11 systems are designed for continuous operation, eliminating the need for planned downtime associated with software updates. Unplanned downtime for these systems averages slightly over 30 seconds annually. IBM also detailed that these systems are equipped to detect and respond to ransomware attacks within one minute, a mechanism to counter data encryption attempts by malicious actors seeking ransom. Further integration is planned for the fourth quarter of this year, as IBM intends to combine the Power11 with Spyre, its AI chip introduced in 2023.

McPherson clarified IBM’s strategic positioning regarding artificial intelligence, indicating that the company does not aim to directly compete with Nvidia in the domain of AI system creation and training. Instead, IBM’s focus is on simplifying AI deployment for inference. Inference, in this context, refers to the practical application of an AI system to accelerate various business tasks. “We can integrate AI capabilities seamlessly into this for inference acceleration and help their business process improvements,” McPherson affirmed in a recent interview. He added, regarding the Power11’s capabilities, “It’s not going to have all the horsepower for training or anything, but it’s going to have really good inferencing capabilities that are simple to integrate.”

Wall Street’s favorite tech trade could be about to get a fresh boost.

President Donald Trump signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act into law on July 4, and there are some parts of the legislation that could unleash further gains for AI semiconductor stocks,

Companies in the chip space are poised to receive a significant tax benefit as the administration intensifies its quest to incentivize chipmakers to build cutting-edge AI tech in the US.

Under a provision of the bill, companies that break ground on new chipmaking facilities in the US before 2026 may be eligible for a 35% tax credit, up from 25%.

Shay Boloor, Chief Market Strategist at Futurum Equities, said there are a handful of AI stocks that are most likely to benefit, flagging two immediate likely winners.

“Intel and Micron get the most immediate lift,” he said. “Intel’s turnaround is tied to Foundry Services, and this credit is oxygen for their capex model. Micron, with its US-based memory investment, is a quiet winner too.”

He added that he still sees Nvidia as the sector’s top name, noting that. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is likely to receive a boost as well.

Others echoed Baloor’s optimism around the bill’s impact on AI chip stocks.

“There can be little doubt that the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit (AMIC) under the OBBB will materially benefit the manufacturers of US fab plants, specifically for already announced investments by TSMC ($165B) and Micron ($200B), and to a lesser degree, Intel,” said Scott Bickley, an advisory fellow at Info-Tech Research Group.

Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder & Executive Director of financial services provider B2PRIME Group also highlighted the benefits for chipmakers that are either building semiconductor facilities on US soil or have plans to.

“It could also boost stock performance for companies heavily invested in domestic chip fabrication plants, since investors like it when there’s clear policy support for long-term growth,” she said of the new policy. “It sends a strong message that the government is committed to backing the sector for the long haul, which helps companies plan with more confidence.”
