Detailed explanation-1: -Answers. The original IBM PC ran at a breathtaking 4.77 MHz (Smmmmmmokin!) Today there are new PC processors that run faster than 3 gigahertz.
Detailed explanation-2: -IBM’s 1984 introduction of the AT was seen as an unusual move for the company, which typically waited for competitors to release new products before producing its own models. At $4, 000–6, 000, it was only slightly more expensive than considerably slower IBM models.
Detailed explanation-3: -The new IBM PC could not only process information faster than those earlier machines but it could hook up to the home TV set, play games, process text and harbor more words than a fat cookbook. The $1, 565 price bought a system unit, a keyboard and a color/graphics capability.
