It's also historically important to remember that Motorola/Freescale and AMCC, at least for awhile, were at least as important chip fabricators as IBM during the days of O.G. PowerPC. No one batted an eye at buying a G4e 20 years ago, but IBM didn't make those (they made the G3, the 7400, and later the G5). It's not a bad thing to get back to that again even if it turns out this is an IBM design.
