The PowerPC 604 contains 3.6 million transistors and was fabricated by IBM and Motorola with a 0.5 μm CMOS process with four levels of interconnect. The die measured 12.4 mm by 15.8 mm (196 mm 2) and drew 14-17 W at 133 MHz. It operated at speeds between 100 and 180 MHz. [22] [23] [24] Power PC 604 RISC microprocessor, lecture by Marvin Denman
Apple UniNorth 2 AGP used in PowerPC 74xx Based Macs. Apple used their own type of northbridges which were custom ASICs manufactured by VLSI(later Philips),Texas Instruments and Lucent (later agere systems) List of Northbridge for PowerPC: IBM: CPC 700 and CPC 710 for IBM PowerPC 750 series. CPC 925 and CPC 945 for IBM PowerPC 970 series.

The PowerPC specification is now handled by Power.org where IBM, Freescale, and AMCC are members. PowerPC, Cell and POWER processors are now jointly marketed as the Power Architecture. Power.org released a unified ISA, combining POWER and PowerPC ISAs into the new Power ISA v.2.03 specification and a new reference platform for servers called ...
The PowerPC ThinkPad line was considerably more expensive than the standard x86 ThinkPads — even a modestly configured 850 cost upwards of $12,000. [4] On the other hand, the 800, 850 and 851 (and later the 860 and 861) were capable of supporting an optional web camera, one of the first commercially available webcams available on a laptop. [ 5 ]
As of 2019, no PowerPC-based game consoles are currently in production. The most recent release, Nintendo's Wii U, has since been discontinued and succeeded by the Nintendo Switch (which uses a Nvidia Tegra ARM processor). The Wii Mini, the last PowerPC-based game console to remain in production, was discontinued in 2017. [citation needed]
The PowerPC 7xx is a family of third generation 32-bit PowerPC microprocessors designed and manufactured by IBM and Motorola (spun off as Freescale Semiconductor bought by NXP Semiconductors). This family is called the PowerPC G3 by Apple Computer (later Apple Inc. ), which introduced it on November 10, 1997.
