They thought that because their cpu's were based on high end server parts that everyone would jump on the bandwagon without them needing to invest heavily in them.

I don't get it.

Ignorance mostly, I'd say.The RISC architecture of the powerPC trademark is still doing just fine, regardless of the naysayers (now known as Power ISA). That was a major limitation, to be sure. After spending that much money and being promised a product that is never delivered, it is understandable that some people get upset.Probably the biggest consumer protection law suit was against Iomega.

Each core is eight-way hardware multithreaded and can be dynamically and automatically partitioned to have either one, two, four or all eight threads active.

If memory serves, PowerPC simply refers to a RISC-cpu instruction set, not the hardware per se.

As with CISC's emulating RISC in microarchitecture, RISC designs could implement instruction fusion and other mechanisms to exploit some CISCy advantages.
