lol...the Emperor speaks...

Looking for the new clothes, Sun?

Bechtolsheim:
"It's not that our blade is too large. It's that the others are too small," he said.

Today's dual-core processors will be followed by models with four, eight and 16 cores, Bechtolsheim said. "There are two megatrends in servers: miniaturization and multicore--quad-core, octo-core, hexadeci-core. You definitely want bigger blades with more memory and more input-output."

Uh, Andy? That's not a blade anymore! And...when you go multi-core...that's squeezing more on a chip...shouldn't the size needed shrink...or at least remain similar? How on earth can you say the problem is that others are too small. I used to be a bit of a Sun defender...they do have some good innovations...but this...I don't know what to say to this, except that I'm surprised at something like this coming from Bechtolsheim.
