== Future == IBM has ceased to publish a roadmap to the 750 family, in favor of marketing themselves as a custom processor vendor. Given IBM's resources, the 750 core will be produced with new features as long as there is a willing buyer. In particular, IBM has no public plans to produce an ordinary 750-based microprocessor in a process smaller than [[90 nm]], effectively phasing it out as a commodity chip competitive in such markets as networking equipment. However, IBM did make the [[Espresso (processor)|Espresso]] processor for Nintendo, which is a 750-based design with improvements such as multiprocessor support (the part is a triple core), new 45 nm fabrication process and eDRAM instead of regular L2 cache; it is unknown if further changes were made to the design. [[Freescale Semiconductor|Freescale]] has discontinued all 750 designs in favor of designs based on the [[PowerPC e500]] core ([[PowerQUICC|PowerQUICC III]]). In 2015, [[Rochester Electronics]] started providing legacy support for the devices.
