Correction: The Enterprise E980 Warranty depends on your country:
- Some countries have 1 Year + Same Day 24x7 support.
- Other countries have 1 Year plus 2 years extended Support + Business Day 24x7 support.
- This is not stated in the announcements so you have to ask your local IBM representative.
Correction: The Enterprise E980 performance jump
- When calculated with the final rPerf numbers in the official Performance Report the
  POWER8 E880C to POWER9 E980 top rPerf is a 38% jump (was reported in these slides as 30%).
- The E880C rPerf went down due to the Spectre/Meltdown recalculation as every one should have these fixes installed by now.
  Th POWER9 rPerf's all assume the fixes are installed and active.
- Unchanged: E950 got 42%.

Includes the Enterprise E950 and E990 Performance stats like rPerfs and CPW plus those of the past generations.
