I think there might be enough interest in HPC. A few of the big upcoming supercomputing projects are going to be based on POWER8. I'd guess a decent number of people buying them are HPC types that want to start experimenting with porting and tuning for those upcoming systems. I'm just speculating, but I hope they already had enough demand to justify what is definitely a niche product.
