Thanks to both of you, superchunck and ethomaz. So one say IBM CPUs are better while the other says the opposite... 

By the way, ethomaz, by "for general use" do you include games or not?

SO like Windows, Linux, Mac OX, etc... the PowerPC is not used for games too... but some Mainframe tasks (coorporative) the PowerPC is better.

I thought you meant programs that are of common use, like web browsers, Office or the like, so thanks to putting it in perspective.

But given that IBM left the "home PC" market and focused on developing supercomputers, isn't that difference something to be expected? Their processors aren't developed with Office/browsers in mind and neither are those programse made to take advantage of their processors' superiority (if there is any).
