The PowerPC Architecture: A Specification for a New Family of RISC Processors

The PowerPC Architecture is a must for anyone who needs to understand the levels of compatibility between different processors in the PowerPC family-the 601 microprocessor, the 603 (low-end, battery-powered requirements), 604 (optimized price/performance for scaleable symmetric multiprocessors), and the 620 (for high-end technical and commercial requirements about performance).
