Just by hearing the name PowerPC, you know its better than any Intel or
compatible.  The PPC uses RISC technology (~4 years old) and the intel
processors use CISC technology (~22 years old).  For one thing, the C
stands for complicated and the R stands for reduced.  If you want, I can
show you a programming example for each in machine code and you can see
which can do the same process faster.
