<aside> 💡

In 1995, IBM transitioned from 48-bit to 64-bit addressing, and from a CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) to a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture, without impacting existing applications

ppc64 refers to the 64-bit PowerPC (Power Performance Computing) architecture, which is a RISC developed by the Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance (AIM) in the 1990s.

ppc64 is the 64-bit big-endian PowerPC architecture used primarily in legacy IBM and Apple hardware and still used in certain server and embedded systems environments (like Power Mac G5 and Xserve G5)

ppc64le is the little-endian variant introduced later for better Linux compatibility on POWER8 and newer processors
