Power? How about LEON And other rad-hard Sparc processors from Microchip (formerly Atmel)?
Looking at the problem long term RISC-V makes more sense. RV has a lot of steam building behind it and we have really neat things like the Polarfire SoC and many more in the works. New tools, compilers and software support are being added every day (hell, there is a plan 9 Risc-v compiler already...) RV is the future from the look of things.
Power has an EoL set of chips from NXP which were former Freescale/Motorola designs and costly server chips from IBM. Arm ate their lunch in the embedded sector and Intel in the desktop/server sector. No one is looking to build new Power chips. No one is porting to Power unless its a Raptor Computing Talos workstation or IBM box, essentially an expensive toy or big iron, niche stuff.
