IBM Rounds Out Big Unix Boxes with Power5+ Chips
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As expected, IBM this week got faster Power5+ processors into the largest members of its System p Unix server family, the p5 590 and p5 595 machines. The delivery of more powerful Power chips in these high-end machines fulfills a promise that Big Blue made to customers and to Wall Street that it would get Power5+ chips that had more oomph than the current Power5 chips into its big boxes during the third quarter.

Sun Sees Sales Accelerate in Fiscal Q4, Still Loses Money
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Unlike many of the giants of the IT industry, who saw their sales soften as the end of the second quarter rolled around, Sun Microsystems is telling Wall Street that it actually saw sales accelerating as the quarter ended on June 30, helping to push (as did acquisitions last year) Sun's sales up 29 percent to over $3.8 billion. Still, because of increased research and development costs, restructurings due to layoffs and office closings, and higher compensation driven by the boost in sales, Sun nonetheless is still losing money, and booked a net loss of $301 million in the quarter.

IBM Creates a Performance-Based Pricing Scheme for Software
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
In an effort to make its software pricing methods more rational in a world where there are many different kinds of server processor architectures, IBM has put a stake in the ground and marked out a new pricing methodology for software that is more closely aligned to the performance of various processors than current per-socket or per-core pricing methods. The key words here are "more closely." It is not a one-to-one ratio. READ MORE >

The X Factor: High-End Chips Draw Even, Vendors Prepare to Differentiate
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It has taken a long time, a lot of planning and roadmaps, and some coincidental delays in products and surprises in the performance delivered by chip makers, but the four major high-end processors used in big servers--the IBM Power, Sun Microsystems' UltraSparc, the Intel Itanium, and the AMD Opteron--have more or less drawn even in terms of the high performance and dual-core capabilities that five years ago were only available from IBM. But the situation may not last for long, as these same chip makers are preparing to push their chips in different technological directions in the coming years to push the performance envelope further.
