PPC is dead - I can't imagine any new mainstream devices will be making use of it. In fact, Nintendo's decision to stay with PPC for Wii U may explain why the cost of the system is still so high. Since x86 and ARM are manufactured in such huge volumes they are a much more cost effective option, and their popularity guarantees that drivers and toolsets will continue to be maintained. |
PPC is not dead. IBM is in fact clawing back market share on the server side from intel and NXP(Freescale's) embedded PPC designs are still often being used. The Amiga PC's still use PPC.
