I do not kow if POWER3 is different from POWER/POWER2. PowerPC is a single
chip processor but Power/Power2 are not. They are more expensive to make
and consume much more electricity. However, POWER chips have much better
floating-point performance but their integer performance lags behind cheaper
PowerPC chips made in the same period. Do not know why.
Just a side note.
