That term is so outdated, that it could even stand for a Mac. IBM makes PPC chips for Apple since the 601. With the introduction of the G5, Apple glorifies that there is an IBM chip inside.
IBM is mainly in the Unix business (Linux, Mac OS X, etc) now against Microsoft. So an "IBM compatible machine" could mean anything these days.
The proper term is “Wintel” meaning Windows Intel Machine. Even though AMD makes x86 chips.
