Answer 1

IBM didn't release processors for PC :)
personal computer IBM PC, if you are talking about it, is based on the processor and chipset from Intel. There was only the creation of IBM in it :)
IBM has produced and continues to produce processors of the POWER line, on which it makes servers, supercomputers and workstations.
You, dear sir, IMHO, would do well to refresh your brains in many applied and historical areas ...
many companies such as amd and intel are engaged in the production of x86-compatible processors. you should at least poke the all-knowing wikipedia

Answer 2

Here they assure that IBM has never made PC processors. This is not entirely true. In fact, there was a short period when IBM did this in alliance with Motorola, and the processors they produced were used in Macintosh and Next Station - and this is quite a PC. This is on the Wiki, but the info is scattered.
And it stopped - well, as usual, there was no demand, Intel and others like it intensified, IBM considered it beneath its dignity to chase after them and reoriented its processor factories.

Answer 3

Apple used to use Motorola processors, but then switched to Intel
