Jules, IBM's Netfinity and Numa-Q lines would be the Intel based servers they sell that run Unix. The IBM RS6000/S80s, AS/400 and of course S/390 have proprietary IBM chips. I don't know how the percentages split. ibm.com Tony

Jules, I don't know the specifics of that question to give a qualified answer. As you know, IBM started building the smaller Risc machines with the chips that they were using in the larger Risc server and these are IBM chips. From a different angle, I do not see IBM diminishing any relationships they have with Intel. IBM makes huge money on IP and Intel can be one of their biggest customers plus these are cross-licensing deals so IBM gets in return, that which Intel creates.
