The design isnt aimed at personal computing. I wonder how interesting the architecture is though and how close to the rest of the Power Family. I heard for this one they've gone in-order processing with this one. I hope these land in the pSeries midframes.

Found an okay write up:
IBM RD 51-6 | IBM POWER6 microarchitecture

Still looking for something that lays out everything.
