In my opinion, IBM doesn't want to be in the processor business. They're just trying to milk the division until it no longer helps serve the Services and Software groups. I don't believe they compensate the microelectronics group fairly in terms of performance bonuses. The Server group almost always gets the lowest bonuses at IBM, even though the other groups' revenues are based upon the Server group's hardware.
Demonstrate that IBM has a future building processors.
Right now, it's plainly obvious that IBM is in the business of software and services. The third leg of hardware is shaky.
