4 cores, SMT4.  There's an 8-core available for $190 more, and AFAIK
there are plans to start offering an 18-core server chip very shortly.

These are the OpenPOWER machines, so there is hardware virtualization
support (including I/O passthrough) that works well with kvm and QEMU.
I haven't really heard anything referred to as "LPAR" on these newer
POWER8/POWER9 machines outside of legacy documents.

Server systems shipped with coreboot

[Thierry Laurion]

Hi all,

Searching legal implications of reselling deblobbed hardware, and can't
fight straight answers.

If the bios is replaced, and ME is disabled with its modules erased, could
the maker pursue the seller for having made those modifications?

Thanks,
Thierry
