"The big loser in the latest rankings is Sun Microsystems Inc. In November, Sun had 88 machines on the list, but that number shrunk to just 9 on the latest list, which means that Sun's
ranking as a supplier of computers on the list has dropped from third to tenth place."
No kidding.
Not to worry though, Scooter sayz UltraSPARC-V will save the day in 2005, err, 2006, oops,
2007, umm whenever.
In the mean time maybe Sun should try to sell big clusters made from their new Xeon
boxes to keep a toehold on the list.
There are now two excellent 64 bit server chips available on the open market. Either
one would be a huge step ahead for Sun from the oh-so-tired USIII core based line.
Sun likes to brag about the size of their uP development team and the resources at
their disposal. I wonder how long until the cognitive dissonance Sun shareholders
seem to be gripped by wears off and they start to question the return on this expensive
and poorly functioning effort.
