PowerPC processors can only be used in computers or peripherals that were originally designed to run them. Some computers that have PowerPC or PowerPC-based processors include:

* Macs made between 1994 and 2005 * The Pegasos and Pegasos II (a desktop computer designed for operating system developers) * the EFIKA (a motherboard for embedded systems) * The GameCube uses a custom PowerPC-compatible CPU * The Wii uses a custom PowerPC-compatile CPU based on the one in the GameCube * The Xbox 360 uses a triple-core PowerPC-based CPU * The PS3 uses the Cell processor, which is based upon and mostly compatible with PowerPC processors. * The AmigaOne, a computer designed to be the successor to the 68k-based Amigas.

What is the main difference between Pentium and PowerPC processors?

There are several "main" differences, that are important, depending on what context you are interested in them for. PowerPC processors are primarily manufactured by IBM and Freescale. Pentium processors are manufactured by Intel. PowerPC processors can operate in both little-endian and big-endian modes. Pentium processors (and compatibles) are little-endian only. PowerPC processors are used in some servers, game consoles, and in embedded kiosks. They were also used in Macs before 2005. Pentium (and compatible) processors are used in most desktop computers, the original Xbox, servers, and some embedded kiosks.
