Is IBM still a serious player? It seems to me they are living out of legacy software. Is there quantum computer stuff promising? | |||||||||||||||||

IBM is still a serious player in research, just not in actual output. They make a substantial sum from IP licensing/consulting to the more modern players. They do for example a large amount of foundational silicon research that other fabs can license. Industry analysts like Dr. Ian Curtis are good to keep tabs on this space such as IBMs 2nm wafers https://youtu.be/PpBagorVtC0?si=CB8-2e3KbFgZQqFH . Or his interview with the IBM research VP of hybrid cloud. https://youtu.be/Dl6oGdLhCvk?si=RZ8KLUAqSRWcFHDJ . | |||||||||||||||||

They are among the best in the world, and they also have a very strong presence in Operational Technology industries like manufacturing. |
