I think you are mixing up Power and PowerPC (which was created by IBM, Apple and Motorola in 1991).

- zymhan 12y agoWhat exactly is the difference? Looking at this Wikipedia article, it looks like PPC is the descendant to the Power ISA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_POWER_Instruction_Set_Architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_POWER_Instruction_Set_Arch... EDIT: Digging a little more gave me the answer: "The POWERn family of processors were developed in the late 1980s and are still in active development nearly 25 years later. In the beginning, they utilized the POWER instruction set architecture (ISA), but that evolved into PowerPC in later generations and then to Power Architecture. Today, only the naming scheme remains the same; modern POWER processors do not use the POWER ISA." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_POWER_microprocessors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_POWER_microprocessors
