About Power 12 AS/400 Systems

Power 12 AS/400 Systems is part of the AS400System.com family of IBM i and AS/400 hardware research sites, and the sibling site to power11.as400system.com, which covers IBM's current, shipping Power11 generation in full specification depth. This site exists because IBM's next Power generation is already the subject of real engineering commentary, analyst reporting, and early compiler-support activity -- and that information deserves the same structured, cited treatment this portfolio gives to shipping hardware, without pretending it is a specification sheet.

Our rule: cited or labeled speculative, never blended

Every claim on this site traces to a specific IBM statement (an engineer or executive on the record) or a specific piece of independent analyst reporting, and every entry carries an explicit confidence label -- confirmed, IBM-stated direction, pattern-based projection, or analyst speculation. We do not publish invented model numbers, core counts, clock speeds, or release dates for Power12, because IBM has not published any.

Portfolio

This site is part of a wider portfolio of independently operated IBM i, AS/400, and Power research properties, including the parent site AS400System.com and the Power11-focused power11.as400system.com.
