SGI's High Performance Revenue [MIPS + IPF} has been declining in a growing market.

Time period and source please. In its latest quarter SGI
reported Altix revenue was up both sequentially and YoY.
The quarter before SGI management said in its conference
call that Altix was over 80% of its HPC server sales.


If Itanium sales are so great at HP why doesn't HP show it's growth more than compensates for the combined decline in their PA-RISC, MIPS, and Alpha systems?

It just did. In its latest quarter it said its BCS sales grew
17% sequentially compared to 8% for ISS sales. You
do know which HP server families fall under BCS and
which under ISS? Kind of ironic given all the hype of
HP's Opteron sales on this forum.


Windows on I2 is not necessarily a win over x86, it's only an indication.

Nonsense. Server Windows doesn't run on any RISC
and you know it.
