Wow, IBM is still around?
Yeah but they don't do anything anymore. They create nothing, they innovate nothing, they build nothing. They're a "service company" now. It's not at all a shock that they're failing to anyone but them themselves. IBM should never have green lit that brainless brain drain shift of focus.
An IBM Power9 supercomputer built in 2018 is #7 on the top500.org supercomputer list. That's not nothing.
Dunno if they're going anywhere now though or if that was their last hurrah.
they don't advertize it because they don't think its sexy or whatever but their mainframe business is still going strong if only because they're the last player left in the market
