Actually, I am far more impressed by this one.

Cray to use Opteron to build world's most powerful super-computer.

LOL. Now if AMD can only convince the feds to buy
nine more Red Storms it could match the low range
of I2 unit sales for 2003. In theory of course, the
delivery date for the first one is what? 2004?

I think if you offered Intel execs a choice between
winning Red Storm or the SGI Altix they would pick
the Altix in a heartbeat. Over 300 systems/5000 I2s
sold by 3Q03 and still rising like a rocket.
