It could also be that SGI got a peek at quad core K8L that one of their competitors (CRAY) will be selling

In scale up machines SGI's competition is overwhelmingly
IBM, not Cray. In HPC the competition from x86 is mainly
low priced clusters using commodity boxes. Cray faces
the exact same problem with cost based competition from
x86 clusters for its scale up systems as do IBM, SGI, and
HP. The K8L doesn't change a thing except perhaps the
performance/price flavour of the month in the x86 cluster
commodity box market.
