"PC" architectures stretched to include the territory. I dunno what for example, you could configure as the maximum RAM x86 system you could put beside someone's desk; but I'll bet that (1) its substantial now, and (b) no other arch exits that can markedly outdo that number for less than 10x? 50x? the cost. it any exist at all. I guess "minicomputer" would've meant "constant reliable I/O" to some users, and that's evolved into more special purpose and redundant systems too, but again all pretty much the same bases. I think.
