DCM
Dual-Chip Module, a Power 11 processor packaging that pairs two processor chips per module for higher total core counts.
DCM options range from 16 to 60 cores per module on scale-out models (S1122, S1124, L1122, L1124), and higher in multi-node E1150/E1180 configurations. Compare against eSCM for lower-core-count entry options.
