IBM Looking To Sell Its Semiconductor Business

Posted by Soulskill on from the offloading-all-the-hardware dept.

jfruh writes "Having already gotten out of the low-end server market, IBM appears to be trying to get out of the chip business as well. The company currently manufactures Power Architecture chips for its own use and for other customers. Big Blue wants to sell off its manufacturing operations, but will continue to design its own chips."

    IBM stands for International Business Machines.

    Actually, for the employees, IBM also stood for "I've Been Moved", as in, "transferred".

    Now I guess they have changed that to "IBS", as in, "I've Been Sold".
