Specific Northbridge IC must be used for PowerPC CPU. It is impossible to use Northbridge for Intel or AMD x86 CPU with PowerPC CPU. However it is possible to use certain types of x86 Southbridge in PowerPC based motherboards. Example: VIA 686B and AMD Geode CS5536. Apple UniNorth 2 AGP used in PowerPC 74xx Based Macs
A common example of a northbridge on a PowerPC platform is in Apple's older PowerPC-based computers like the iMac G5, which utilized an IBM CPC945 Northbridge chip. According to an Apple Developer note, The Power Mac G5's northbridge chip connected to a "Mid Bridge", which then connected to a south bridge. [9]
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.
[2] [3] It was possible to run 68360 in slave mode and to use only CPM part of the chip, for example in the M68360QUADS-040 board, where 68040 CPU (master) is coupled with 68360 CPM (slave), with CPU of 68360 processor being disabled. [4] CPM was used later in the PowerQUICC series of PowerPC- and Power ISA-based processors. Early designs, like ...
The PowerPC 970, PowerPC 970FX, and PowerPC 970MP are 64-bit PowerPC CPUs from IBM introduced in 2002. Apple branded the 970 as PowerPC G5 for its Power Mac G5 . Having created the PowerPC architecture in the early 1990s via the AIM alliance , the 970 family was created through a further collaboration between IBM and Apple .
The specification for Power ISA v.2.03 [7] is based on the former PowerPC ISA v.2.02 [8] in POWER5+ and the Book E [9] extension of the PowerPC specification. The Book I included five new chapters regarding auxiliary processing units like DSPs and the AltiVec extension. Compliant cores. Freescale PowerPC e200, e500

This part is sometimes called PowerPC 603ev. The 603e and 603ev have 2.6 million transistors each and are 98 mm 2 and 78 mm 2 large respectively. The 603ev draws a maximum of 6 W at 300 MHz. [18] [19] The PowerPC 603e was the first mainstream desktop processor to reach 300 MHz, as used in the Power Macintosh 6500.
