What’s the status of IBM these days? They are treated like an obsolete dinosaur in my tech circles, but they’re so big that I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they are actually cutting edge in some areas (particularly in capital intensive stuff)
Their semiconductor IP division has been cutting edge for decades (particularly before TSMC got copper working).
They kind of act like a bridge between academia and industry, helping to develop academic ideas into something that's viable for high volume manufacturing.
Well they certainly aren't the biggest but their cloud operation is still pretty large and somewhat nice. Noone is even close to IBM in Quantum cloud offerings.
I really don't understand why people say IBM is dying, its literally one of the most successful and revenue producing companies in the world with plenty of room for growth with their investments in Quantum. The just don't provide as many consumer facing products so everyone assume's they're dead.
Some things are more important than free market capitalism, and making sure you’re not dependent on hostile countries for key technology is one of them.
According to the Oregonian, Intel and Oregon were hoping to land this center.

I can't speak to most of what they do, but they seem to be at the forefront of quantum computing.
They placed all their bets on enterprise cloud + Quantum.
Azure and AWS?

I personally don’t know much about quantum or IBM. How relevant are they today? Are they going to become more relevant tomorrow?
Afaik they're partnered with Samsung on the fab side.
In this day and time, I'll believe it when it really happens. Depending on what happens next week, the CHIPS act could be repealed early next year.
Ah yes, the classic block the exports of your partners and throw a bunch of subsidies at your own. Thanks for the free market capitalism America!
America never claimed to have a completely free market: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/031815/united-state...
There is no free market in the fab business. Every single player had some level of government support and direct subsidies for decades.
