Steve,
Let's make sure not to over look the embedded and 32-bit processors.
There are a number of variants here that include some user ISA
extensions that you did not mention:
4xx MAC
Book-E isel
e500 embedded fp
e500 SPE
Are ones that come of the top of my head. Additionally, I would say
that Freescale has at least six different powerpc micro-architectures
that it ships today:
8xx, 603, 7400, 745x, e500, e200, (e700 in design)
Also, we have optimized some libc functions for 745x that take
advantage of altivec and e500 that take advantage of SPE.
Anyways my point is lets make sure that any discussion includes ALL
of powerpc, not just the ones shipping from IBM :)
