Last week, a couple of guys from a new startup walked into my office offering
to sell me the equivalent of a Cray and a Pixar in 40" of rack space for
something less than $100K. The design included 512-bit wide internal data
paths moving data at 640 megabytes/sec and approximately 45 ASICs. Sorta
reminded me of an Amiga. Hang tough, gang, 10 years may get here sooner
than you think :-).
