IBM processors refer to a range of central processing units (CPUs) designed and manufactured by IBM for various computing applications. These processors include the Power series, used primarily in enterprise servers and high-performance computing, and the IBM z series, which powers mainframe systems. IBM's processors are known for their scalability, reliability, and advanced features, such as support for virtualization and high throughput. Additionally, IBM has been involved in developing specialized processors for Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing.
The most famous manufacturer of computer processors is IBM. The most famous manufacturer of computer processors after IBM is AMD.
Two notable processors created by IBM are the IBM PowerPC and the IBM z/Architecture. The PowerPC, developed in the early 1990s, was widely used in personal computers and embedded systems, while the z/Architecture is designed for IBM's mainframe computers, providing high performance and reliability for enterprise applications. Both processors have significantly influenced their respective markets and continue to be integral to IBM’s technology offerings.
IBM does not make laptops. IBM makes processors that are used in computers, but not actual computers. So the answer to your question would have to be Dell.
Apple worked with IBM and Motorola to develop the Power PC processors which were a development of IBM's POWER1 processor. Apple used Power PC processors in their range of Macintosh computers between 1994 and 2006 when Apple switched to using the processors from Intel's range. IBM produces a range of processors for all types of devices including the Cell processor used in Sony's PlayStation (The X Box also uses a Power PC processor). (See links below) In 2008 Apple spent $278 million to acquire PA Semi a company which designs processors based on the Power PC model. It is not known what Apple intends to do with processors designed by the company.
This is a bit of a confusing question. IBM-Compatible computers are a type of microcomputer themselves. Any x86 based processor, such as AMD, Intel, VIA, and Cyrix, are IBM-Compatible. Other systems also exist, such as older Macs which used IBM PowerPC processors and Motorola processors. There also exists Sun Systems SPARC processors, and a whole host of others. IBM-Compatibles are the current dominant consumer system.
IBM AIX currently only supports Power chip processors, which are not the Intel X86 format.
MS-DOS
Intel is a brand of processors and PowerPc is made by IBM
No version of Windows runs on Motorola-designed processors. Certain versions of Windows NT and Windows CE ran on PowerPC processors, which Motorola manufactured along with IBM.
Almost all can, indirectly by using logic or code tricks. However some processors, such as the POWER6 and POWER7 processors from IBM, can actually process in true binary.
The IBM Roadrunner, which was the world's first petaflop supercomputer, was built in 2008 at a cost of approximately $100 million. This investment covered the hardware, development, and installation costs. Roadrunner was notable for its innovative use of cell processors and x86 processors, significantly advancing computing performance at the time.
Prior to switching to the Intel processors Apple used the PowerPC (PPC) processors. They were developed by Apple, IBM and Motorola (the AIM alliance) with most of the manufacturing done by Motorola (IBM produced the 64bit G5) until they pulled out of directly manufacturing in 2004 with Freescale Semiconductor taking over the manufacturing.
