Pixar divorced from sun

Posted by deepquest on February 10, 2003 – 6:33 pm

Out will go Sun servers and in will come blade servers from Racksaver ? to the tune of 1,024 Intel 2.8GHz Xeons running the Linux operating system.
Am I missing something or Steve Jobs’s company is switching to slower processor as mentionned in all his benchmarks done during his keynotes?

As news.com reports, there’s symbolism here that Sun would do well not to ignore. Rather than use UltraSPARKY chips from McNealy’s firm, it appears that rendering firms may use Intel-Linux solutions rather than Sun Slowaris and big tin that runs it.

Film studios, the same article points out, don’t care about chip wars or about server wars ? different worry lines crease their particular foreheads.
