Honestly, I vastly prefer OpenPOWER over ARM from a consistency in implementation perspective. Not to mention, at least with POWER9, no mandatory binary blobs or opaque management engine chips that can't be properly audited.

OpenPOWER is extremely expensive though. There is no universe in which I would pay several times the price for a high-powered x86 gaming PC/workstation just to have an open-source CPU and hardware like Talos. It has to be both open and affordable.
