Those seem too specialized to RAM intensive projects. Way overkill for WCG in my opinion.

Be willing to bet none of the WCG applications will run on it.....

Better to buy/build a AMD/intel 4 processor system with there newest server processors. Probably cheaper too.

MY recommendation is to ignore all the posts by this submitter. Bold statements with no facts to back up the extravagant claims. There are no projects compiled for Power9 on WCG. To even do x86 emulation will require additional software submitter didn't mention like PowerVM or PowerVC. These are chargeable features. Last time I tried x86 emulation on Power there was 30% overhead due to emulation. The overhead used up any advantage the Power system provided. PowerVM Lx86 was withdrawn by IBM back in 2012 or 2013 if memory serves me correctly. In a post above he throws in zLinux which has nothing to do with Power9. Since submitter provides very little explanation to the posts, I just assume they are here for "click bait" purposes only
