  They’re coming back after selling it to Lenovo.

    Selling what to Lenovo? Thinkpad? That's hardly a supercomputer. I'm not aware of any supercomputers built by Lenovo. IBM has built a lot.

      IBM had to sell a Cray computer to NOAA after they sold their server line to Lenovo. https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-announces-significant-investment-in-next-generation-of-supercomputers https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-announces-significan...

      Try again: https://www.top500.org/system/179566 https://www.top500.org/system/179566 There are plenty of System X HPC installs. They just no longer come from IBM. Even when IBM still owned the line, it was being outsourced. The University of California SRCS system from ~10 years ago was an iDataPlex sold to us by IBM. Most of the boards had Asus marked on them. Also remember the System X line was sold way after the Think lines.

    IBM never left HPC. They sold off their x86 lines, but all their big toys run POWER variants.
