If they are embracing x86 servers it seems to be a bad move. Isn't
IBM trying to sell their x86 business? (to Lenovo) Mainly because the
sales are dropping.
No. x86 market (or Intel market or just PC market to honour AMD and x64)
consist of personal computers (desktops, laptops) and servers.
While personal computers are partially being replaced with some mobile
devices, the PC servers take marketshare from HP, Sun, p Series and
(small) mainframes.
Side notes:
- Having significant marketshare doesn not mean having profits.
- Server market may shrink, despite of the platform. Or at least not to
grow so rapid. (Did anyone said recession?)
- IBM sold personal PCs, not servers.
- (last but not least) IBM also sold personal printers (Lexmark), big
printers (Ricoh), ATMs (Diebold?), networking devices (Cisco), hard
disks (Hitachi), printed circuits (Celestica), etc.
IMHO neither the buyers want to have loss from inprofitable business,
nor the business is vanishing. We still use ATMs, hard drives, printers.
