  • 1.  IT Jungle was really off their game yesterday.

    Posted 2 days ago

    The line " IBM i 7.6, which is required on all of the Power11 machines as far as we know. " was so very wrong.  https://www.itjungle.com/2025/07/28/the-turning-point-for-power-systems-is-here-and-now/

    Power 11 runs IBM i 7.4-7.6, and likely iNext.
    Power 10 (generally) runs 7.3-7.6 and likely NOT iNext (if the pattern holds up)
    Power 9 (generally) runs 7.2-7.5 and not IBM i 7.6

    Some Power 9 also runs 7.1, upon a special agreement from IBM. Not sure it's still available, though.

    Good catch on this one.  I was thinking the same thing.
