The PowerPC was developed jointly by Apple, IBM and Motorola (now named Freescale). There are many different PowerPC processors available. Apple has been using the PowerPC in the Macintosh systems, IBM is using it in its RS/6000 and pSeries computers und Nintendo used it in its Gamecube and in Wii playstations. There are many embedded applications using the PowerPC.

The PowerPC has is a Superscalar microprocessor which means it has separate execution units. This are an integer unit, a floating-point unit, a branching unit, and even more depending on the processor type. These units can execute instructions in parallel within one clock cycle.
