Top 500, Nov. '01...Systems under development... SGI In the SGI Origin3000 systems already a provision has been made in the C-bricks to put in Intel's IA-64 processors instead of the MIPS R14000 (see \ref{origin}. Though SGI projects that at least still one MIPS chip generation, the R16000, will (can) be used in Origin systems, a fast transition to the Intel line is probable. This also depends on the production volume of the IA-64 chips. When this production takes on, it will be very hard for almost any other chips manufacturer to compete and transition will be faster.
