  Starting at $5800? For 5800 I can build one hell of a threadripper or epyc system with nvme storage. I've been seeing people try to make power architecture (ibm) servers a thing for 12+ years now, it never happens, because ordinary developers can't afford them. Compared to what you can put under your desk for a thousand bucks based on any Intel or amd, amd64 architecture system . Or this? https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TL2B01/intro.html https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TL2B01/intro.html $2700 and probably is outperformed by a $150 ryzen cpu on a $110 motherboard.

    "Starting at $5800? For 5800 I can build one hell of a threadripper or epyc system with nvme storage." Except that it won't have open firmware on a CPU hardly anyone targets. Whatever you build will probably be vulnerable. Unless you're running OpenBSD or something.

      I guess something being such terrible value nobody uses it is a sort of advantage...

        Less used != terrible value.
