alternative arch?

Hello? Just wish to know if there is alternative arch hardware product
(non-x86 computer) that Gentoo Linux runs fine on it, also this product need
to be as speedy as a typical 1GHz Pentium III, and it must not be
secondhand/used product.

I can find dozes of UltraSparc box that has similar speed, but they are all
secondhand/used products. I am thinking if there are POWER CPU product
(better not Apple) that has similiar speed and also have new units available
for sale.

We are looking for hardware to ship our pre-installed Linux product, and we
need non-x86 solution.

Thank you for suggestions:)

I just took a look at Pegasos II Motherboards.

I can hardly calculate how much computation power does a Pegasos II with
600MHz G3 processor equal to. Is PPC CPU faster or slower than Pentium
in same clock-frequency? How does 600MHz G3 PPC compare to 1GHz Pentium
III? Can anyone give a hint? Our application is mostly CPU focused
(little i/o), so I only care CPU speed most.
