Après ses dossiers sur tous les Pentium (ici et là), l'excellent Ars Technica un dossier sur l'architecture du Power PC, microprocesseur lié au triumvirat Apple, IBM et Motorola :
"After I completed my recent architectural history of the Pentium product line (Part I, Part II), I got some requests from Apple fans to do a similar treatment of the PowerPC family of processors. When I agreed to look into the task, what I grasped was that the PowerPC family tree is more like a family jungle, with different variants on different processors combining with other lines to give rise to yet more processors, all for an array of markets that ranges from mainframes to routers to game consoles.
This being the case, the first decision that I made was to focus my coverage exclusively on PPC chips that have seen use in shipping Apple products. I stress the word "shipping" in that previous sentence, because there are a few lifeless branches on the aforementioned family tree that never quite sprouted. So even though Mac fans like to fantasize about What Might Have Been had this or that wonderchip seen the light of day, I'm not going to spend any time in this article with lost lore and apocryphal tales, as fascinating as such things certainly are."
