I do not think I have ever seen IBM do this before. The Vice President of Product Management for the IBM Power Servers, Bargav Balakrishnan, wrote a blog post in the IBM Newsroom about IBM Power11 processors being released next year, 2025.
While his post was not technical, explaining the differences from IBM Power10 and Power11, he did give some details about the performance improvement we could see when comparing these two servers.
He also wrote about integrating the IBM Spyre Accelerator to allow IBM Power servers used to be able the scale AI workloads.
The last section of his post talked about IBM's AI tool for RPG, RPG code assistant, stating that IBM intends to deliver it next year too.

This goes to show that 2025 is going to be an exciting year for IBM Power, IBM i and RPG.
thanks. Really interesting the recognition of RPG as a productive business, high throughput and performant language, as an asset, and not as pure legacy. IBM has a unique OS and ecosystem in the i, should really foster it... "We are dedicated to working with our IBM i community in developing a code assistant for IBM i to further help clients maintain and modernize their RPG based core business applications without having to undergo the expense, performance degradation, and risk of refactoring them to Java or other languages.
