I remember at one point Raptor had plans to use non-IBM chips for their future machines, how are they doing now?

@koakuma There are other manufacturers of high end Power ISA chips?

@chjara Well, Solid Silicon was supposed to be one

Aside from that I guess you have NXP but their stuff seems to be unable to do AltiVec if you run them in LE (EL? LE? EL?) mode so modern Power OSes are going to be unusable there
