I suppose that the IBM POWER8, (64-bit, hex or twelve core, 8 way SMT/core, 5.0 GHz .


You forgot this is only per chip.
I only have a puny little tiny Power 8.
Only 160 V-cores and only 512 Gigabyte main memory.


processor       : 151
cpu             : POWER8 (architected), altivec supported
clock           : 4116.000000MHz
revision        : 2.1 (pvr 004b 0201)

timebase        : 512000000
platform        : pSeries
model           : IBM,8284-22A
machine         : CHRP IBM,8284-22A


Just a little system.
But is AMIGA OS supporting it?

By the time anything ARM based is as polished as MorphOS is now on PPC, you'll be able to by a 6th generation rPI several rimes faster than a QuadG5 or even one of the (current) Power8 systems.


you mean by the time OS is ported to ARM, most AMIGA fans will spend their last days in a nursery home?
