We use a Power System E980 at work that has 192 processing cores and 64 TB of RAM. IBM makes pretty good stuff...
What went wrong?
New Zen 2 is going to eat Power9’s lunch.

She destroyed every good aspect of IBM's corporate culture and sold off all their hardware divisions.
IBM owns hundreds of patents and make super computers. They are apparently best in this and have heavily invested into quantum computing and who knows if they will succeed in that.
How do I get a job at IBM?

IBM has leveraged their decades of work, dating back to the 1960s, on superconducting supercomputers toward the current quantum computing trend. The same Josephson Junctions used in conventional superconducting logic are now used by IBM to build the actual qubits.
The NSA gave them tons of support to build a superconducting supercomputer back in the 1970s, and there is currently a reevaluation of this once doubted tech now that exascale computers are becoming real - the megawatts dissipated in conventional ICs at exascale level make low power (like an eighth) of a superconducting machine very attractive.
This.
OP thinks that IBM only made Thinkpads and Model M keyboards.
