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.
Silver membership is $5000/year so it's like one developer's salary in a month in total (to set that in context, this is a company with a third of a million employees). This was set in motion long before the acquisition was even announced let alone completed.
It was a reference to the movie Pi :)
"It's a Ming Mecca chip! Those aren't even declassified yet!"
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.

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!
