The point about Power 10 currently

<< < (2/2)

xilinder:
I agree.
    IMO. We POWER9 desktop and small server users have only begun to utilize the CPU and the motherboard design.
We don't know what we can do to expand these machines and possible future of motherboard design to include more
functionality for either desktop or even commercial users.

    It is just too soon to consider POWER10 as a next motherboard CPU for other than commerical use if there is a market for
such a machine.

    Let us push POWER9 just as far as possible into the future.

Exactly friend Xlinder, the situation at the moment is this, we are in the full P9 period, he has reached a good level of maturity and therefore it is time to make the most of his skills.  For example, just look at Canonical which from this year will start with dedicated P9 support on its Ubuntu ... In the meantime, the most suitable P10 processors will arrive and you can then think about something new ... But it still takes time ... Patience and time to use to make good use of P9!

ejfluhr:
Seems unlikely these processors will make it to consumer boxes given the firmware blobs for DDIMMs & PCIe, but one can always dream...

Agreed that P9 is still more than plenty capable, likely lots of capability that hasn't yet been tapped.

ClassicHasClass:
I'm holding out for P11 myself.
