Only if you have a machine architecture that's appropriately aggressive, too. There's more to a machine than just a CPU (certainly if you're talking about the I/O side of a CPU). And whether we like it or not, machine architectures tend to stick around for longer than CPUs. That sounds like pure spin. Surely SGI had a machine at least planned, if not already under design, based on the H1. Why else all the hoopla about the chip's bandwidth? Like SGI is really going to say "buy our system, the cpu has 5 times more bandwidth than you can actually use!" (well, I guess SGI did do that with the Power Challenge, though they didn't like to talk about the PC's bandwidth at all) Whatever that H1-based product was (sn1?), it is surely delayed by the cancellation of the chip.
