• mpc8544ds/ppc e500v2 CPU
• ppce500/ppc64 e5500, e6500
• mac99/ppc64 970 (g5) CPU with 64bit and 32bit user space
• pseries/ppc64 POWER5+, 970, 970MP, POWER7
• pseries/ppc64le POWER8, POWER9, POWER10
• powernv8/ppc64le POWER8 HV CPU
• powernv9/ppc64le POWER9 HV CPU
• powernv10/ppc64le POWER10 HV CPU
