Yes, that's what you wrote. But as you cannot put a CPU core on a PCB without having wrapped a chip round that core I assumed that you might probably not mean the PPC476 core as such but rather an actual (i.e. existing) chip with that core inside.

Me neither. That's been the reason for my question.

Yes, Freescale's Power Architecture roadmap explicitly paints the QorIQ P4 and P5 chip families as replacements for the MPC86xx chip family.
