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-significan...

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.
