Comment on IBM opens up Power chips, ARM-style, to take on Chipzillaparent

Comments

General Motors was a big user of Motorola 68k variants. Workstations and personal computers that used the 680x0 series switched to the Power series, maybe the developers just find them easier to migrate to.

Personally I've just found the architecture clean and well-designed. Even if this only helps the developers I'd say it's worth it.
