By the transitive property, does this mean that IBM joins as well? And if yes, does this have any implications on them? I don't know if IBM still designs their own chips.
IBM still designs both their Power (think Linux/big server) and Z (mainframe) chips. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_POWER_microprocessors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z/Architecture

IBM has been a member of the RISC-V Foundation for a few years. ( https://riscv.org/membership/1456/ibm/ )
What's the rationale for double-paying?

Applied Phlebotinum: The "Ming Mecca" computer chip that Dawson uses to bait Max, and provides Euclid the processing power to fully realize the number. Max is disbelieving that the firm can even provide it (because they're classified technology), but Dawson simply says that the firm has plenty of connections. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Pi
But in seriousness. Thanks for the links. Also I didn't know there is that much indepth information about IBM mainframes on Wikipedia. Don't mind if I do, this will be a late night!
