And what exactly would be more modern?
It’s just another ancient SoC containing even older cores only deemed for legacy support.
Some onboard parts that could be added to an x5000 via PCIe.

Best case scenario is kinda like a 2007 iBook with questionable build quality.

The ship for this project has sailed long ago.

CPU GPU RAM to G4 laptops, almost everything.

Surely x5000 is closeby by design, but even PA Semi was ment for laptop efficiency\
some crazy people made it into a full desktop :D

PPC is dead.

Its a zombie. In SW it isnt dead yet as many Linux distros support it.
But as kernel support for m68k (original Linux arch) is now removed,
one day, not so far will PPC32 at least - PPC64 (G5 plus) might live some more.

We still those QUIRK (I call them WEIRD) CPUs left and some FPGA, and beside
IBM POWER, thats it.

What if zombies could walk
