Ask HN: Anyone bought the Raptor Systems POWER9 machines?

https://ift.tt/3ex7yGI I’ve been extremely curious of these ever since I read about them a few years ago. They seem neat, but are wildly expensive for what seems to be a very uncommon architecture. Only other modern POWER systems I can think of offhand are the IBM i series. Has anyone bought or used these? What enticed you to purchase it? Do you get an sort of advantage over a powerful x86 workstation? I’m trying to figure out who their market is.
