HP swore off using TI to fab their future chips and now they are partnered with Intel. Not exactly. About 6 months ago they signed up with IBM to have them fab their PA-RISC chips on IBM's state of the art Cu/SOI process. Same with Compaq. I'm not sure if the problem is TI or SUNW's engineers. The smoke and mirrors campaign from SUNW gets confusing. You'd think if they were getting a limited supply of chips, they would start with an E10K replacement first. It only makes sense to go top down, otherwise you comoditize mid range like SUNW is doing because the new low end are now about what the current mid range is like. Given that the workstations are single processor, I think there's a problem with the SMP configuration. It could be anything. I don't believe it is entirely TI's fault that SUNW doesn't have all the chips it needs.
