IBM PC (1981)
On August 12, 1981, IBM introduced its personal computer called the IBM PC, which was also known as the IBM Model 5150. The computer was equipped with a 4,77 MHz Intel 8088 microprocessor and ran Microsoft's MS-DOS operating system. The development of the computer lasted less than one year, and it was taken care of by a team of twelve experts with the aim of bringing it to the market as soon as possible. Compaq Computer Corp. came out with its own first clone of the IBM PC in 1983, and this event heralded the gradual loss of IBM's share of the personal computer market.
