  1. Re:the switch was about money not technology on Apple Switched Chips Too Soon? · · Score: 1
    iSeries/System i5/whatever [snip] and pSeries/System p5/whatever [snip] do have PowerPC in them

    Sorry, but no they don't. They have POWER chips in them, which is something (almost) completely different.
  2. Please don't confuse the POWER with the PowerPC on Apple Switched Chips Too Soon? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Call it unfortunate naming, but these two processor families don't really have much in common (other than possibly some marketing material). A POWER processor is the stuff dreams are made of. See http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/. A PowerPC processor is the stuff printers are made of. And until recently; Macs.
