    Power Architecture is an ISA, not a chip or system. Therefore it makes no sense claiming an OS doesn't fully support Power Architecture just because it is a single-core OS. After all, the ISA allows for single-core implementations, of course. A single-core OS can't fully support a multi-core chip or system, but the ISA is per core.

    Yes, there are hundreds of systems using more than one core that complies with Power Architecture currently on the market from a broad range of vendors. They are mostly specialized systems for embedded, networking, telco, industrial, imaging, storage, military etc. use.
