POWER7+, 64-bit octo core, 4 way SMT/core, 3.0–5.0 GHz, follows the Power ISA 2.06. Introduced in 2012. POWER8, 64-bit, hex or twelve core, 8 way SMT/core, 5.0 GHz, follows the Power ISA 2.07. Introduced in 2014. POWER9, 64-bit, PowerNV 24 cores of 4 way SMT/core, PowerVM 12 cores of 8 way SMT/core, follows the Power ISA 3.0. Introduced in 2016.
An operating system running on PowerPC 615 could either choose to execute 32-bit or 64-bit PowerPC instructions, 32-bit x86 instructions or a mix of three. Mixing instructions would involve a context switch in the CPU with a small overhead. The only operating systems that supported the 615 were Minix and a special development version of OS/2. [38]
32-bit powerpc a released port since potato [21] 64-bit big-endian ppc64 [22] in mostly stalled development; 64-bit little-endian ppc64le a released port since jessie; Fedora; Gentoo Linux, with 32-bit ppc releases and 64-bit ppc64 releases [23] MintPPC, support for Old World and New World 32/64-bit Macs based on Linux Mint LXDE and Debian [24]
The 603 series had a 32-bit FPU, which took two clock cycles to accomplish 64-bit floating point arithmetic. The PowerPC G4 family supports two bus technologies, the older 60x bus which it shares with the PowerPC 600 and PowerPC 7xx families, and the notably more advanced MPX bus. Devices that utilize the 60x bus can be made compatible with ...
Cell (processor) Cell is a 64-bit multi-core microprocessor microarchitecture that combines a general-purpose PowerPC core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements [2] which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation.

The existing POWER and the upcoming PowerPC ISAs were deemed unsuitable by the AS/400 team so an extension to the 64-bit PowerPC instruction set was developed called PowerPC AS for Advances Series or Amazon Series. Later, additions from the RS/6000 team and AIM Alliance PowerPC were included, and by 2001, with the introduction of POWER4, they ...
In 2003, 64-bit CPUs were introduced to the mainstream PC market in the form of x86-64 processors and the PowerPC G5. A 64-bit register can hold any of 2 64 (over 18 quintillion or 1.8×10 19) different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 64 bits depends on the integer representation used.
t. e. The PowerPC e600 is a family of 32-bit PowerPC microprocessor cores developed by Freescale for primary use in high performance system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs with speed ranging over 2 GHz, thus making them ideal for high performance routing and telecommunications applications. The e600 is the continuation of the PowerPC 74xx design.
