The successors of the 8008 were the 8080, 8085, 8086, 8088, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium, etc. including the current multicore microprocessors. IBM chose to base their PC on the 8086 and 8088, then as successive newer microprocessors were developed new versions of the IBM PC used those microprocessors. Intel also produced many specialized microprocessors and microcontrollers including some RISC microprocessors (e.g. i860, i960). Current Apple Macintosh computers also use the latest Intel multicore microprocessors.
