IBM's Power chips can run in either little or big modes, but "used a lot" is a stretch

- inferiorhuman 1y agoMost PowerPC related stuff (e.g. Freescale MPC5xx found in a bunch of automotiver applications) can run in either big or little endian mode, as can most ARM and MIPS (routers, IP cameras) stuff. Can't think of the last time I've seen any of them configured to run in big endian mode tho.
