POWER is actually competitive on price/performance now.

Eh… Not for the home enthusiast workstation market.

The CPUs are actually kinda reasonable (Raptor sells the 8-core for $595, which is only $95 more than the launch price of the Ryzen 1800X).

But the lite mainboard is $1,099.

That's 5-10 times more that a board for Ryzen. And a lot is missing on the "lite".

Context here is "server and workstation market".

The Ryzen 1800X is not a comparable CPU.
