Editing Northbridge (computing) (section)

=== PowerPC ===
Northbridge chips are most commonly found on X86-based PCs, but they can also be found on other platforms, such as the [[PowerPC]] platform. A common example of a northbridge on a PowerPC platform is in Apple's older PowerPC-based computers like the [[iMac G5]], which utilized an IBM CPC945 Northbridge chip. According to an Apple Developer note, The [[Power Mac G5]]'s northbridge chip connected to a "Mid Bridge", which then connected to a south bridge.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/PowerMac_G5_05Oct/Articles/PwrMacG5-0510_archi.html|title=Power Mac G5 Developer Note}}</ref>
