The PDP-10, also known as the DECsystem-10 and the DECsystem-20, was among the most famous and popular 36-bit computers. Digital introduced its first 36-bit computer, the PDP-6, in 1964. The product was not a success. Digital relaunched the family, with a new design, as the PDP-10 in 1966, and shipped the first systems in 1967. In all, Digital brought six 36-bit designs to market:
