The IBM System/370 Model 165 (and the Model 155) were jointly announced June 30, 1970 as "designed for ... the Seventies." That same day IBM announced the 370/195. They were the first three models of the IBM System/370 line of computers.

Since none of them came with virtual memory, "which was to be a hallmark of the 370 line", some said about these early members of the IBM System/370 family, especially about the 165 and 155, that they were not "the real 370 line."

Three months later a fourth IBM System/370, the Model 145, was announced.
