"And how many Opterons would it take in the form of
IBM e325 econo-boxes to match the ~$2m of hardware
revenue from those 8 systems powered by 54+ I2s?"

I dunno. I don't really see where it is a badge of pride to point out a sale where Intel supplies but a small fraction of the overall value. Heck, the company that made the RAM in that system probably had a larger percentage than Intel did...

Why is it relevant how much money SGI or IBM sells their systems for? Last time I looked, the name of this forum is "Advanced Micro Devices", not SGI, IBM, Cray or even Sun. While it might be interesting to see a post about the larger sales, a post about a single system is pretty dull stuff.

Besides, it's fun to plink at subzero...
