When Sparc does something, it is bad. When ibm copy Sparc a decade later, it is the best thing since sliced bread.
btw, the Power9 will be 2-2.5x faster than Power8 which means P9 can not catch up on last years Sparc M7, which is 2-11x faster than Power8. The Sparc M7 has 32-cores and 256-threads per cpu. It is the worlds fastest cpu. This year Sparc M8 will arrive, again doubling M7 performance.
btw, intel xeon is almost 2x faster than Power8 which means Power9 will have a hard time competing with intel xeon and amd epyc
