NEC Strengthens Ties to Sun, But Is Still Tight with HP

What seems unclear is what NEC will do with Sun's future "Galaxy" Opteron-based servers. Right now, NEC does not resell the Sun Fire V20z or V40z Opteron servers, running either Solaris or Linux. But Sun's Sutphin said that because of NEC's extensive experience with 64-bit operating system and doing ports, it could be helpful in helping Sun and other application providers in the Solaris market port their applications to 64-bit X86 processors, whether they came from Intel Corp or Advanced Micro Devices. A spokesperson in NEC's Tokyo headquarters said that the company has no firm plans to sell the Galaxy machines, but at this point if NEC did, it would be on a case-by-case basis. Right now, this is just a topic of discussion more than anything else--which stands to reason, since Sun is late in delivering them to the market.

It burns me that the IBM Supercomputer for Volvo story was not even linked to AMD by Yahoo, though AMD Opterons are mentioned in the first sentence of the story. AMD PR is SLEEPING, as usual. Don't bother telling them, they won't even respond.
