Announcement from Raptor / Solid Silicon Corp
carlosgonz:
My wishes it is ReversingEngineering or Hack the 2 Blobs for IBM Power 10 or wait to Power 11 to see what is going on to Condor.
Other wishes to Condor it is Built-in Kestrel and FSF RYF.

Based on what?
tle:
Sorry I was wrong. I misread the announcement. If it is PowerISA 3.1 then it is likely POWER10-compatible..
Borley:
The is the best news I've received perhaps all year. Hopefully the new design, both boards and chips, uphold freedom and openness before bolting on any new creature comforts.

FSF have not gotten around to Blackbird RYF certification because they have not had the bandwidth to focus on it. Maybe new boards will reignite their vigor.
lepidotos:
I mean, is it possible it's a POWER9 with bumped up ISA compatibility? If so, it would be nice if it was still socket compatible, so that people could reuse their old CPUs; I just bought a 16-core 160W 231 a couple months ago. In any case, it's good that it exists at all, but hopefully its successor uses the same socket.
Also, their website shows direct-attach RAM: https://solidsilicon.com/desktop/images/8152dd0e-6642-450d-b30d-cfb2a6cdbabf.png
