Abstract
The PowerPC 601 microprocessor is the first of a family of processors based on the PowerPC architecture. The general-purpose processor conta ins a 32-Kbyte cache and a superscalar machine organization that allow s dispatch and execution of up to three instructions each clock cycle. The bus interface and storage control mechanism can be configured for a wide range of system designs: low-cost desktop personal computers t o high-performance multiprocessor systems.
