SGI's new R12000 chip was favorably reviewed in Jan. issue of BYTE -- a magazine not noted for postive statements on SGI for several years. They estimate 50% improvement in performance over the R10000, and stated it could beat any next-generation Intel chips for high-end graphics use. They preduct volume production of the chip in the first half of 1998. Anybody know when next earnings report comes? Sometime around Jan 18th or so? I take issue with statements in this thread about "Supercomputer companies can't earn any money." I think SGI's scalable models offer a unique opportunity to build momentum in this field. I also think the workstation and server story is far from over. --JD
