Well, if you count it that way, then Linux supports at least 26. If you count it the Linux way, then only eleven remains compared to 22 for Linux. > > No, most embedded devices use ARM or MIPS cpus in the meantime. > I doubt its possible to quantify which architecture is used most often for > embedded systems but Cisco is one of many licensees that have built a wide > variety of devices based on POWER CPUs. q.v. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC#Licenses and > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_POWER All the embedded Apple products (iPhone, iPad) are ARM based. Most of the embedded routers (Linksys, ...) are MIPS (Broadcom, SOC) based. I would not call the classic Cisco products embedded.
