If the IPC were functioning, yes.

An example of such an candidate would be this IBM RS/6000 here.
It's old.  The motherboard is cracked.  The case is bent.  I lack a lot
of the smaller components to make it whole.  I killed a week or so
trying to resurrect it.  It Will Not Run Again.  Beyond that, it was a
dog back when it was current, and, as a result, IBM doesn't really admit
to having ever made it.  You'll find more mention of a 7011-250 on their
website.
