I wouldn't be too hasty in writing off Cray just yet, but they do have problems. I'm not writing off Cray. SGI seems to be in just has much trouble as Cray is in.
I'm sure INTC would love to see Cray disappear as it would open up markets to Itanium that Itanium was supposed to dominate
Huh? The primary competition for IPF in the HPC market is POWER in the SMP and capability segments and x86 in the low cost cluster and capacity segments. Cray barely registers on the radar at all and then mainly for its vector gear.
