Perseus Labs tests the following CPU architecture.
PPC PowerPC
is a RISC microprocessor architecture created by the 1991
Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance, known as AIM. Originally intended for
workstations, PowerPC CPUs have since become popular embedded and
high-performance processors as well. PowerPC was the cornerstone of
AIM's PReP and Common Hardware Reference Platform initiatives in the
1990s, but the architecture found the most success in the personal
computer market in Apple's Power Macintosh line from 1997 - 2005.
PowerPC is largely based on IBM's
earlier (but retroactively named) POWER architecture, and retains a
high level of compatibility with it; the architectures have remained
close enough that the same programs and operating systems will run on
both if some care is taken in preparation.
