Fact: If Sun does not extend the OEM agreement with Fujitsu they will not be able to sell the US64 quad core systems in 2009. Another end of life product for Sun

Fact: Being able to put 10 blades in a 10U enclosure does not count as blades. They are horizontal 1u servers.

Fact: Eight SPANCII cores on a chip with almost no cache/core is good for benchmarks, but not for dynamic workloads, or virtualization.

Fact: T2 is the most expensive chip for software licensing. Six Oracle licenses/chip.

The crowd cheered when T1 was announce at 2 licenses and is now in shock and awe.

Fact: Never compare the T2 with a scalable system/architecture with more than one chip

Fact: The T2 chip uses 120W up from T1 95W. This is why we have a ridiculous metric of Watts/Thread. The T2 also requires incredible amounts of memory compared to other architectures, which is why you have to buy 64GB for a one chip/8core system.

Fact: Montecito and Montvale are both only 104Watts.

Fact: The T2 chip is not 89.6GHz, and I have no idea how that is not considered lying.

Fact: LDOMs are not virtualization, they are partitioning of threads

Fact: The ROCK chip systems above 8 sockets have been canceled, so Sun has exited the >8 socket space forever.

Fact: The Road to Redmond is through Sunnyvale

Fact: SUNW is down to $4.80, once you get past the marketing antics

Fact: its after 3am in London
