Supercomputer specialist Cray meets views By Stephen Shankland Staff Writer, CNET News.com November 1, 2000, 11:25 a.m. PT URL: news.cnet.com Supercomputer maker Cray met analyst expectations Tuesday, reporting a net loss of $3.9 million, or 12 cents per share, on revenue of $33.7 million. In the same quarter last year, the company had revenue of $850,000 and a net loss of $13.9 million, or 59 cents per share. SGI sold the supercomputer maker to Tera Computer in a deal announced in March. Cray traditionally sells to specialized customers such as automobile and aircraft designers and the federal government. However, the company faces supercomputer competition in some fields from IBM, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems. Including interest and amortization expenses, Cray had a loss of $6.1 million, or 12 cents per share for the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30. In the quarter, Cray won customers at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, Ford Motor and the U.S. Navy. In addition, the company sold its first computer to a Japanese customer, the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Several new products are coming from the company, Cray said in a statement. The company will announce improvements to its existing SV1 soon and begin shipping the new version in the second quarter of 2001. A Cray MTA using CMOS chips is scheduled to begin shipping the second half of 2001. And the next-generation SV2 is on schedule. The company spent $13.3 million, or 39 percent, on research and development for the quarter.

AMD-760 chipset may have some problems causing motherboard manufacturers to delay their products until December or beyond. A Gigabyte representative in the UK told The Reg that it was an AMD issue and that Chimpzilla was currently investigating the problem. It would be 'at least two weeks' before the severity of the problem and hence the length of the delay were known, he added. He declined to comment on the precise details of the fault. What's interesting is that there really hasn't been any indication of trouble in the recent reviews, which means this could be an isolated problem. Unless more motherboard manufacturers come forward, we won't know for sure.
