# Letter regarding ISAMUX / NS
+## Why has Libre-SOC chosen PowerPC ?
+
+For a hybrid CPU-VPU-GPU, intended for mass-volume adoption in tablets,
+netbooks, chromebooks and industrial embedded (SBC) systems, our choice
+was between Nyuzi, MIAOW, RISC-V, PowerPC, MIPS and OpenRISC.
+
+Of all the options, the PowerPC architecture is more complete and far more
+mature. It also has a deeper adoption by Linux distributions.
+
+Following IBM's release of the Power Architecture instruction set to the
+Linux Foundation in August 2019 the barrier to using it is no more than
+that of using RISC-V. We are encouraged that the OpenPOWER Foundation is
+supportive of what we are doing and helping, e.g by putting us in touch
+with people who can help us.

## Summary
* We propose the standardisation of the way that the PowerPC Instruction
distributions will very deliberately run unmodified on our ISA,
including full compatibility with illegal instruction requirements.

This is a quick overview of the way that we would like to add changes
call overhead (because some of the instructions needed will be in
extremely tight inner loops).
