>>...this company may introduce a cost competitive Power based desktop?

>I don't think anything built in relatively low numbers and not subsidized can ever be cost-competitive with equally performant x64 hardware.

Not competitive with X64, but definitely priced lower than other Power 9 boards. If they can get it a little closer to the X5000's price, I'd be interested.

>> Any chance it may capture the attention of the MorphOS team?

>This may also depend on the current development progress of the x64 version. The more progressed it is, the smaller the chance I'd say. And the MorphOS team would have to be provided with boards or systems, of course.

Attention sure, but as a possible platform? Not unless they want to explore SMP before the ISA switch. A sixteen thread machine running a single thread would offend most people's sensibilities.

Edit - We COULD buy one for Mark (he already has a Radeon HD 5850 video card).
