Tony,

Re: Kryotech systems.

I agree that mechanical items are likely failures not ICs.

However there are many applications where getting the performance is key.

In our shop we will probably get a 1GHZ Kryotech if it's available for thing like simulations and DRC/LVS runs or synthesis.

So I do think that there is a significant market for them in the engineering workstation space.

I agree that in places where absolute reliability is required they may not sell well.

I think the market is more segmented than perhaps you think.

Foe example on our Sun workstations we don't have RAID etc.

We will buy the latest and in a few years just jumk it for the better systems.

I know the engineering workstation market is not huge but it is still tens of thousands of machines per year. I suspect there are many other such sub-markets as well.

And remember that quad CPU has 4 fans and takes much more power than the single 1Ghz solution.

Regards,

Kash
