In addition, Raptor Computing Systems announced it has partnered with US-based Solid Silicon Corporation as its future CPU provider for continued secure, fully open systems and servers, including new OCP and industry- standard form factor offerings with HPC potential. Raptor Computing Systems will be using Solid Silicon S1 CPUs with embedded POWER ISA 3.1-compliant, server class cores as the fully owner-controlled, blob-free successor to its IBM POWER9-powered solutions, with expected availability of systems by late 2024. The Solid Silicon S1 CPU contains an embedded X-class BMC, providing a fully owner-controlled active Root of Trust and BMC stack for all Raptor Computing Systems products using the S1.
