Pretty impressive I wonder what the temps look like and how it would perform at 3D rendering and video encoding.

  I would be really interested for a database server, right now they offer a single ssd (no RAID), this is a no-go for a production db.

    Not exactly, it says "Local RAID" on the Power8 lab page. So it's a RAID of HDD.

      yes, I forgot it is actually a single virtual machine running on a physical server. The main disk is /dev/vda2

  They run hot. Yes, they've been improving on heat output and power consumption, but they're certainly not anywhere near most Intel parts — that said, they're chasing a market where perf matters above all else. Video encoding probably wouldn't be so great comparatively, in large part because I don't think any encoders use the POWER8 vector stuff.
