![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Motorola continued to develop PPC mostly because they where using the design in many of their embedded chips so why not make a little profit on the desktop chip? But the desktop chip was not a big money maker nor was it a real priority. IBM saw early on that there was little benifit to the PPC w/o the reference and they drew back. I believe if the three had worked out a reference platform and all of them invested in the desktop then things would have been very different. I think management totally screwed up on this and deflated the PPC momentum. For a long time Motorola, IBM and Apple were trying to agree on a Common Hardware Reference Platform – CHRP – or some derivitative. Although I have not researched this, I can say from the sidelines I noticed a lot total BS from management about the PPC. The original PPC designer team was amazing and beat deadlines and expectations with their work. As I recall, as an fan on the sidelines, the PPC was faster at first. ![]()
