Somerset Design Center he 604 microprocessor is the third member of the PowerPC family being developed jointly by Apple, IBM, and Motorola. Developed for use in desktop personal computers, workstations, and servers, this 32-bit implementation works with the software and bus in the PowerPC 601 and 603 microprocessors.‘m3 While keeping the system interface compatible with the 601 microprocessor, we improved upon it by incorporating a phase-locked loop and an IEEE-Std 1149.1 boundary-scan QTAG) interface on chip. In addition, an advanced machine organization delivers one and a half to two times the 601’s integer performance.
