Uhhh...All VAXen and PDP11 (and other PDPs, for that matter)
processors are DEC products.  They've made MANY variations of PDP and
VAX processors, both chip-level and board-level.

  All DECstations and DECsystems are based on MIPS R-series
processors, mostly R2000s and R3000s.  All VAXstations are based on
various VAX processors.
