The newest platform is probably POWER10. ReBar is not supported on any POWER platform, most likely including the upcoming POWER11.

Also, I don't think you'll find many mainboards from 2006 supporting it. It may have been standardized in 2006, but a quick online search leads me to think that even on x86 mainboards it didn't become commonly available until at least 2020.

Congrats on a pretty niche reply. I wonder if literally anyone has tried to put an ARC dGPU in a POWER system. Maybe someone from Libre-SOC will chime in.

If the firmware is open source, perhaps it could be retrofitted. For amd64 motherboards that do not have native UEFI support, retrofits are possible through this:
