It's a lot easier to claim that all modern processors (that are based on a load/store architecture... All RISC chips, basically... and that includes x86) trace back to the CDC 6600, probably Seymour Cray's most direct and influential gift to the world of computing.

And the IBM reference would be IBM 801 by John Cocke:

Dunno how much it actually influenced the Archimedes though.
I can get behind that. Control data, or it will control you!
