The Power7 Used Hardware Market in 2026
IBM withdrew Power7 from marketing in 2015-2016, so there is no new-hardware reference price -- everything on the market today is used, refurbished, or parted out. Value at this stage depends far more on parts availability and TPM eligibility than raw performance.
