The Amdahl 470/V6 was a powerful mainframe computer introduced
in 1975 that ran the popular IBM System/360 family of programs. In 1989, the
microprocessor-based program Sargon defeated Tony Marsland’s chess program
Awit running on this type of machine. Even though the 470/V6 was by then over
a decade old, this was still a dramatic development and showed the growing
power of microcomputers.
