A blurb from SUNW this morning intitled "Sun out running the competition."
"Customer feedback on the Sun Fire servers has been overwhelmingly positive," said Chris O'Neal, publisher of Supercomputing Online. "This is evidence that the Sun Fire servers have scored a big win in the minds of our readers and says volumes about the reputation that Sun continues for itself in the market. Sun Microsystems' industry-defining Sun Fire server win underscores how more and more professionals are using data-intensive applications that are brought to life through Sun's superior product. The great strength associated with Sun's ability to innovate and integrate new technology will drive ever-increasing levels of performance and value to help the world's supercomputing professionals overcome the challenges they face."
The Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 servers, powered by Dual-Core AMD Opteron(TM) processors, offer one-and-a-half times the performance, consume about one-third the power and are one-quarter the size of similar servers from competitive vendors, delivering a combination of performance, features and value to customers that is not available from any other server supplier. Likewise, the UltraSPARC® processor-based Sun Fire servers offer massive, horizontal scalability and extreme rack mount compute density with up to five times the performance of competing systems, at one-third the power consumption.
4.62 R is being taken out now. 4.68 next R up toward that overhead gap...sorry, I just had to put "gap" in this post somewhere! LOL
