58 million transistors can drive incredible Power! Apparently, Apple appreciated the choices IBM processor architects made when designing the 970 family. “Understanding 64-bit PowerPC architecture” provides the 64-bit architecture big picture for the 970 family (a.k.a. the Power Mac G5) and the critical issues in IBM’s 64-bit POWER designs, covering 32-bit compatibility, power management, and processor bus design.
