powerpc is outdated in many ways because ibm isnt investing enough money.   intel invests way more in x86 and thats why they are more modern.

but that doesnt mean x86 is better for every use. the wii u is showing how a small ppc can do the work of a bad 8 core x86(amd is just bad)

AMD is not bad. MS and Sony wanted a shitty 8core in their systems, so that's what they paid for. AMD doesn't make horrible CPUs.

The Jaguar  core they used is just meant for low power usage applications, like laptops. Not AMD's fault they had to keep the power envelope in check.
