I like Pete's comment from iTechSolutions.

"For those currently on a POWER6 or POWER7 server the POWER9 is going to be like greased lightning. In fact, I recommend ordering a seatbelt with your new server as you are going to need to be strapped in when you start running your IBM i on POWER9"

One contributor to the higher list price is probably do to the fact that Power VM is now included with the box.

PowerVM Enterprise Edition will be included with all POWER9 enterprise server models (excluding L and LC models).
Purchasers of POWER8 enterprise server models can select either PowerVM Standard Edition or PowerVM Enterprise Edition.

The ?H? systems are targeted for SAP HANA and only support 25% of the cores for running IBM i/AIX. All other cores are Linux.
The ?S? systems are basically same T&Cs as their POWER8 counterparts.
S924-S824, S922-S922, S914-S814.

As expected POWER9 requires 7.2/7.3 with latest TR release. NO v7r1 support.

No performance data(CPW/rPerf) numbers yet but IBM says to expect 1.5x performance of POWER8

Initial review is showing POWER9 list price a bit higher than a comparable
POWER8 but price/performance should still be better.

Read deep into the announcements. Several of these boxes Require SAP HANA
as the primary OS, and the IBM i P group is 20. IBM i and AIX are
limited
to 25% of the total machine.

These will need some serious review to understand exactly what's in store for IBM i .
