> Can someone explain why POWER9 is interesting

From my point of view it is interesting because it provides an alternative to x86 and ARM. The more competition, the better. Competition will push the hardware forward. Imagine we only had only one CPU architecture and one CPU maker.

We have far less CPU architectures than we used to have.
