Memories are fading but circa 2000 (EV6) it was maybe the fastest single-CPU workstation you could buy for number crunching. Anything faster would be firmly in HPC territory budget and complexity.
Come to think of it, had the cryptomining and LLM crazes occured a bit earlier it would have helped such architectures survive the onslaught of x86 excel pushing brigades. But it may have never led to Linux adoption. Sigh. Figuring out alternate tech universes is so complicated.
