As a former IBMer I really like the POWER hardware. It is just a shame that it is made by IBM. Like you said IBM stuff is just too damn expensive.


Right, I should have pointed that out: the Power hardware is truly incredible, especially the fast I/O to GPUs. There’s a reason why the national labs and Google have gone with that architectue.


I know about it from the Raptor PC team and their Foss compatible microcode. Would you say it holds its own performance/reliablilty wise with competitors?
