### PowerPC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The processor in the 360 is a 64-bit PowerPC chip running with 32-bit memory
|
|
|
|
|
addresses. This can make some of the documentation a little confusing as most
|
|
|
|
|
of the PowerPC docs only have a 'you're in 32 or 64' style. The CPU is largely
|
|
|
|
|
similar to the PPC part in the PS3, so Cell documents often line up for the
|
|
|
|
|
core instructions. The 360 adds some additional AltiVec instructions, though,
|
|
|
|
|
which are only documented in a few places (like the gcc source code, etc).
