Power clusters are used for ML because they have integrated NVLink and as I remember OpenCApi for FPGA. It’s not general purpose platform.

  I'm typing this reply to you on one (in Firefox 68). What's not general purpose about it?

    From Power9 cluster with array of GPUs? For work loads like http servers/php code/MySQL/etc intel CPU will be much faster. We have CPU samples from all vendors, unfortunately Intel right now is the best platform.

      That didn't answer my question. That's fine if you think Intel is better (I don't, but that's orthogonal), but that doesn't make PowerPC less general purpose.
