For dev workflows the high-end 22 core with dual sockets seems to perform pretty well already: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=power9-t...

Having such a powerful (or at least performant), free and risc-y machine has been a dream of mine for quite some time now... If I can only find a good argument to my wife as why we need one :P

Oh nice! Almost 2x the speed of i9 for 7-Zip compression and ahead of everyone on LLVM compilation speed and Rust prime benchmarks.
