I have trouble imagining SGI making computers strictly limited to Intel chips. As these chips become more highly integrated, surely it will become more difficult for any computer company to design computers with unusual levels of performance. Another question: assuming MIPS is spun off, does this mean that SGI will be adopting a more CRAY-like architecture for its future workstations -- an architecture that does not require MIPS? Finally, I wonder what MIPS prospects will be without SGI -- they still have the General Instrument contract, but if Nintendo drops MIPS (reputed to be a big slice of earnings right now), this company might not be so good as a stand-alone.
