And if we just reduce the range to "CPU for nextgen consoles".

Whitch better POWERPC or AMD x86 or Intel x86??? The nextbox will use a molded version of the Windows 8 I guess.

Depends on what kinds of workloads you are looking at, if you want lots of FLOPS from low power and small die than Power is probably your best bet. For anything else performance wise Intel. But if you want something cheap and designed for an APU/SoC design then I doubt AMD can be beat.

 

Also for old times sake

And people really don't think that performance was the reason that Apple went with Core 2 which completely crushes every CPU on this chart. Considering that Power 6 wasn't due for an entire year after Core 2 was.
