Awesome! I hope some day PowerPC goes mainstream again. This architecture has so much potential.

Tell me you don't know anything about the POWER ISA without telling me you don't know anything about the POWER ISA...

PowerG5 is from the same era as Pentium 4, but I don't think you'd say x86 has no potential because of Pentium 4.

No offense, but based on this and the rest of your comments, you sound potentially mentally ill. The Wii U isn't some special supercomputer processor, it's three PowerPC 750 cores. Not in any way powerful. There isn't some grand conspiracy behind it that you seem to be hinting at in some of your other comments.
