''The PowerPC architecture is an ideal foundation for RISC embedded applications; its minimal silicon requirements allow for higher integration, making it possible to pack a complete processor core and substantial peripheral functions on one chip, while simultaneously reducing power consumption and heat generation. Using this adaptable technology, Motorola delivers the latest high-performance RISC technology in integrated, single-chip products ideal for price-sensitive mainstream markets.''
