Why is IBM still making all these breakthroughs?
I thought they got out of the chip business.
- losteric 9y agopatent licensing?
- amackera 9y agoNot even close. They still help design, test, and fabricate a huge number of high performance ASICs.
- cptskippy 9y agoThey left the semiconductor manufacturing business. That's a different segment. The lithographic tools and the technology used to make those tools are both different market segments that IBM is involved in.
- orbifold 9y agoThey haven't gotten out of research in the Area at all, their labs are still among the leading ones in many different subareas (the director of the Zurich Lab gave a talk at my University just recently). They also continue to develop both their Power 9 and Mainframe processors.
