   @allison @rher @IAMAL_PHARIUS @professionalbigot69 @mischievoustomato I don't have any special affection for the PowerPC chips, but I managed to check: https://www.enterpriseai.news/2014/10/08/tyan-ships-first-non-ibm-power8-server/ . Apparently they exist, you can buy the new ones, and you can probably buy used ones.

     @p @rher @IAMAL_PHARIUS @professionalbigot69 @mischievoustomato Well "dead" in a relative sense, it's certainly alive in the HPC and server space but unless you're shelling out for a Talos or repurposing game console hardware, you'd be very hard pressed to find any consumer POWER hardware made past... 2005? Something like that.

     Is it dead? The #7 supercomputer on earth is POWER9: https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2023/11/

     @mischievoustomato @rher @IAMAL_PHARIUS @professionalbigot69 True! I would hate to be a SPARC fan in this day and age, at least POWER has a real chance of coming back from the dead.
