IBM?

What is it IBM actually do? Im really confused. They make more money that intel and AMD combined, but They dont make there own processors anymore?

I think the Wii U uses some 1995 CPU from IBM..

But I think they converted to server stuff and services

IBM has constantly evolved since its inception. Over the past decade, it has steadily shifted its business mix by exiting commoditizing markets such as PCs, hard disk drives and DRAMs and focusing on higher-value, more profitable markets such as business intelligence, data analytics, business continuity, security, cloud computing, virtualization and green solutions

It's not an old CPU, they made it new for the Wii U, in the same way they did for the Wii.

They built punch card machines for nazi concentration camps, and USA Japanese internment camps for their record keeping in world war 2.

 

Other then that I honestly have no idea.

They do a lot of research in artificial intelligence and future computing technologies, like quantum computers or silicon replacement materials. They used to manufacture CPUs like Intel, and actually invented a lot of the computer technology we still use, such as DRAM and hard drives. For the most part they've exited hardware, though they're still doing stuff with their Power8 architecture for servers though.

Most of their revenue comes from technical services and support to other corporations.

IBM are more invested in server and workplace businesses nowadays, as well as the artificial intelligence Watson.

They used to make the best keyboard ever. In two months they will make a re-brand and put it into mass production. They will then become the biggest company. Ever.

But they sold their rights to production of the Model M to Unicomp now. Although the similarity of the build quality is questionable, it's still an authentic buckling spring typing experience. Probably the biggest complaint about Unicomp is that they haven't recreated the sought-after Model M SSK model for sale.

IBM pretty much owns the world with its patents.

IBM has been around for 100+ years, that should tell you something.

But just imagine...... A distopian future centered around IBM reselling the model M.

 

I'd be happy.

At long as they produce the Model M SSK's too I'll be happy as well.
