- vonmoltke 11y agoPOWER != PowerPC. POWER processors through the POWER4 generally implemented the PowerPC ISA, but were not "PowerPC" chips. Also, there is a 64-bit PowerPC ISA; that is what the POWER4 implemented. It just doesn't get much use in embedded contexts because it isn't necessary and costs more.
