> what benefits does POWER and SPARC brings to the table

Radiation hardened implementations, e.g. spacecraft, is one niche, though I don't know whether that has anything particular to do with the ISA.




Radiation hardening are mostly done with mature old node with less error rate and packaging. There are additional compute to check if results are correct ( I remember it was n+2 ? ). So nothing to do with ISA itself ( at least as far as I know ).
