All three major seventh-generation [[game consoles]] contain PowerPC-based processors. Sony's [[PlayStation 3]] console, released in November 2006, contains a [[Cell processor]], including a 3.2 GHz PowerPC control processor and eight closely threaded DSP-like accelerator processors, seven active and one spare; Microsoft's [[Xbox 360]] console, released in 2005, includes a 3.2 GHz custom IBM PowerPC chip with three symmetrical cores, each core SMP-capable at two threads, and Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, also released in November 2006, contains an extension of the PowerPC architecture found in their previous system, the [[GameCube]].
 
Several arcade system boards were also powered by PowerPC-based processors, such as [[Konami]] Viper, which was used in ''[[Police 911]]'' and ''[[Silent Scope]] EX'',<ref>{{cite web |title=Konami Viper Hardware |url=https://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=584 |website=System 16 |access-date=23 December 2024}}</ref> as well as [[Taito]] Type Zero, which powered the first two games in the ''[[Battle Gear]]'' series, as well as ''[[Densha de Go!]] 3''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Taito Type-Zero Hardware |url=https://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=673 |website=System 16 |access-date=23 December 2024}}</ref>
