Chipguy, re: IPF is the architecture with by far the fastest growing sales in the server market, deal with it.
Sure. IPF is replacing antiquated architectures from HP/SGI and some from Fujitsu-Siemens. IPF plus the architectures it replaces aren't growing. The reason for that is that IPF so far just doesn't really impress enough. Montecito was a really good prospect until it got delayed and castrated. Now it's only pretty good, i.e. not good enough to substancially grow IPF + the architectures it replaces. Deal with it.
