cmove does a move (register or memory) when some condition is true.
isel (which is base PowerPC, not something "e500" only) is a
computational instruction, it copies one of two registers to a third,
which of the two is decided by any bit in the condition register.

But sure, seen from very far off both isel and cmove can be used to
implemente the ternary operator ("?:"), are similar in that way :-)
