The PowerPC architecture is the result of collaboration between
Apple, IBM, and Motorola to create an advanced, yet relatively
cheap processor for the mass market. The PowerPC chip is used
principally in IBM's RS/6000 workstation and in Apple Computer's
Macintosh. The three developing companies, calling themselves the
PowerPC Alliance, have made the PowerPC architecture an open
standard, inviting other companies to build the architecture
further.
