I use POWER8 hardware at Red Hat (supplied by IBM[1]) and it certainly does rock. It helps that I don't have to pay the electricity bills.
I just wish the hardware was more available. There is precisely one, barely affordable, non-IBM POWER8 system available to buy[2] (if you have $3-4k burning a hole in your pocket). Where are the development boards?
