Sure. But the embedded PowerQUICC chips were in use between the years 199x and 201x, and are still manufactured today in 2025.

My overall point is that Power ISA has a long history as both high performance compute AND embedded (be it industrial, automotive, or space embedded).

Maybe in the late 1980s POWER was high performance only. But there's a big history here and it's weird to see this discussion ignore Power ISA's long embedded history.

Does OpenPower have a chance today? I dunno. Obviously the hype is in RISC-V and maybe a bit of ARM. But it's not a bad ISA and Power used to target embedded not very long ago
