Well as far as IBM is concerned, the RISC System/6000 should never be
referred to as the RS/6000 due to other companies trademarks. But
anyway, the press as well as around IBM generally refer to the
processor architecture as the POWER (Performance Enhanced With
Enhanced RISC) architecture or sometimes with the various internal
codenames stretching back to the old Americas research project.
