PowerPC is IBM.
To clarify...
PowerPC is the general moniker given to a subset of IBM's Power
processor line of products.
Depending on the age and version, the actual chips were/are
manufacturered by IBM, Motorola, or Freescale (the Motorola spin-off).
AFAIK, currently, only the 970 (aka the "PowerPC G5") comes from IBM.
All the G4 chips Apple is using come from Freescale.
At particular issue, in this subthread, was that Apple's System
Profiler doesn't indicate which exact processor version, speed, and
manufacturer you have in your particular Mac. To tell that, the only
way is to open 'er up and look.
