[–] BracketMaster 6y ago ↗ Don't get me wrong, I love IBM POWER and am currently contributing to the LibreSOC/LibreGPUhttps://libre-riscv.org/shakti/m_class/project, but what is the real market for POWER besides niche military use?Who are POWER9 server customers for example? Seems a bit more expensive than competing Xeon.
