But it is nice we have a new entry to OpenPOWER world. I could at least extend the POWER and FreeBSD combination for a little longer.&lt;p&gt;I am also wondering who is the backer of Solid Silicon. As much as I love the idea, I would imagine it is a very hard sell to most VC. ( But then VC are known to invest in Cloud Kitchen and FTX saving the world so I guess I shouldn&amp;#x27;t be surprised )</text></comment>

I assume that they have extremely solid toolchains available, and the feature sets were obviously mature enough for high end computing, and they&amp;#x27;ve been 64-Bit for a long time.&lt;p&gt;I thought that the UltraSPARC T1&amp;#x2F;Niagara was a really amazing concept, if maybe a few years too early (and definitely in the wrong hands after Sun was extinguished), so I&amp;#x27;m just scratching my head why everyone&amp;#x27;s so gung-ho at starting a brand new architecture from scratch - especially one that seems more suited for ultra-low power microcontrollers. OpenPOWER was founded 10 years ago, OpenSPARC is even older, the T1 code was released in 2006 - so there was time to adopt them as well.&lt;p&gt;Is the existing ISA too hard to get into lower power chips? Are there any weird patent&amp;#x2F;licensing issues going on that don&amp;#x27;t make them as &amp;quot;Open&amp;quot;? Could I please get a modern, high-end SPARC workstation?</text></comment>
