Nope. It was originally meant to power industrial machinery, and in fact some very early chips that used the in-house instruction set were made and ended up AFAIK in some fabrication machines (lathes, mills, etc). Afterwards it was a welcome upgrade for PDP-11 based lines, including military spec models, where reliability was more important than pure speed.
