Re: This is very different from Intel's first foray into 8-way SMP. Before Intel did that, there was no market for SHV 8-way systems

Sequent.

Now I suppose you'll whine that they weren't SHV. At their peak, they were a cheap, volume solution for users needing high performance computing.

We had a system with 20 386 CPUs in it that performed well and (for the capability and the time) was dirt cheap - and it was an off the shelf server.
