What I meant is that POWER could become a competitor for Intel/AMD based
servers. We're now running AMD EPYC servers with 64Cores/128Threads and we
didn't find any POWER system which could compete in this area.

Also, looking at TOP500 list there are not so many POWER systems anymore.
IBM could change this now.
