Bob Bishop says: "The guidance we've given them (analysts) is that this fiscal year will be flat with respect to revenues, but we will achieve a break-even status this fiscal year. Next fiscal year, however, beginning July 1, we do expect to see our revenues and profits regaining considerable momentum." yahoo.com what can we read in his statement: "MIPS becomes an ongoing product for our server product," it sounds to me like a lots going to happen on July 1. is there an implied corispondence between MIPS/INTC and server/graphics? curious. vincent

"I just checked out SGI's recent tpc-d announcement and found an 8-way 250 MHz R10K Origin system running Oracle 8 did significantly worse than a 4-way Pentium Pro system running NT and Oracle 8. So how are you faster again? 1. We're running 8.03. The only other 8.03 mark that I know of is Data General, whom we beat quite well. " Justin, I am trying to find that data you refered to.. I went to the TPC homepage and looked at the TPC-D results. The only one I see for SGI is a TPC-D for 100 GB filesystem where an 8 processor Origin got a 799.9. The DG AViiON 32 processor ccNUMA machine received a 3305.8 on the 300 GB database. If you assume the ORIGIN scales perfectly and lets forget that the data is from a 100 GB database not a 300 GB database, that would say that a 32 processor origin would receive about a 3200 tpc-d..... You wouldn't be comparing an older AViiON with less processors against a new Origin.. That's what you guys say that those bad guys at Apple and SUN do to you and I know you wouldn't do that. ;-) I would like to know what tpc-d data you are talking about. THop
