Re: That's why nobody remembers the 3000 series. They were the Itanium of their day.

IBM blessed Intel with the order for the chips for the PC because they wanted to be sure there would never be any chance that the PC could compete with IBM's serious computers.

They looked for, and selected, what they thought was a sure loser chip from a sure loser company.

Needless to say, things didn't work out in quite the way IBM expected....
