== History == Technical details of the microprocessor were first presented at the 2003 [[Hot Chips (symposium)|Hot Chips]] conference. A more complete description was given at Microprocessor Forum 2003 on 14 October 2003. The POWER5 was not sold openly and was used exclusively by IBM and their partners. Systems using the microprocessor were introduced in 2004. The POWER5 competed in the high-end enterprise server market, mostly against the Intel [[Itanium 2]] and to a lesser extent, the Sun Microsystems [[UltraSPARC IV]] and the Fujitsu [[SPARC64 V]]. It was superseded in 2005 by an improved iteration, the POWER5+.
