ppc64le has other machines. Raptor off the top of my head, but there's also that weird notebook project that seems to be talked about once every few years and probably won't ever happen and some pretty cool stuff in the amiga space (I don't know if that's strictly le but power is supposed to be bi-endian)

The PCB design for a small desktop computer (which is a step of the notebook project) has been finished 2 weeks ago, and they are trying to get funding to actually manufacture a few prototypes rn [0]

I'm not saying there hasn't been progress, rather, it doesn't seem like it's ever going to release

Is Raptor still relevant? Looking at their website (https://www.raptorcs.com/) they announce such novel technologies as PCIe 4.0 and DDR 4, and POWER 9 which was released in 2017 while IBM is already on POWER 11.
