Stupid question, Why does it look like the picture was shot through a fish eye lens? or was is shot through a Sony phone?

It probably was a fish eye lens.

The Mac Pro cheesegrater design is almost 13 years old and it still looks better than anything ever released in the PC world.

Itanium 2 was success on every level.

...

it wasn't really a bad chip for supercomputers or certain workstation tasks
it just wasn't the x86 killer Intel wanted

Every modem released by Technicolor.
Sure they might be locked down heaps of shit, but they look great.

This looks like a white Fat PS2.

I reckon it would have worked were it not for AMD extending x86 with x86-64.

...

...

No, it wouldn't.
Intel's strategy was Itanium for servers and workstations, and Pentium 4 with PAE for desktops. Even after AMD came with AMD64, they still pushed Pentiums.
Their very strong market segmentation didn't help either. They priced Itanium way too high to be available to mere mortals.
As for performance, it wasn't anything special.

>inverted ATX for no fucking reason whatsoever

Man, Apple sure is special snowflake

that supercomputer is cray

Here's the updated version by HP

To be fair though "Netburst is the future" was the line they spouted for ages, and we all know how much of a housefire dead end that was.

I suppose Itanic is now one of the few remaining classic Unix platforms alongside Power and SPARC.

not actually ATX, the memory and CPU are on those daughter cards you see below the GPU.

They did actually want Itanium for the desktop in early the early 00's though - XP 64bit Edition (not the later x86_64 version derived from Server 2k3 kernel) is proof of that.

Itanium is dead. The (last) chips released this year are, in typical Intel fashion, a +100 MHz refresh and the line being refreshed is Poulson from 2012.
HP even made a x86 Superdome and are actively pushing their customers to migrate to x86.

SPARC and Solaris doesn't seem to have any brighter future considering how Oracle is mismanaging the remnants of Sun.

This leaves IBM that seems to be doing quite well with POWER, which is really a shame because AIX is the worst UNIX you can get.

Not really, or they would have priced it accordingly. XP 64bit seems to have been intended for workstations (there were several, you can still get them on ebay).

but muh HP-Unix :(

I know.
HP tried to port HP-UX to x86_64 but the effort died out.
It's a damn shame since I would have loved to run it on my PC.

They would have, had it not been so badly taken in the server market and by the general tech press at the time.
IA64 for Desktops wouldn't have been on the same socket or the same dies as Server and HPC...

What happened to MIPS? I know they went to small embeddable systems but r12k etc always had much better floating point performance than any comparable x86 intel made. Would be cool to have some real processing power instead of still using the same overcharged 8088 x86 architecture. It's literally same shit than in 1980 but with faster buses and addons.

>Apple cuck
>Being an apple cuck and calling someone a blacked poster

There's no way it could have competed with Pentium in the desktop market, especially not the inevitably cut-down version of Itanium.

It ran out of steam and SGI switched to Itanium.
Also, there are few things that can match x86 in performance and none of them at a better perf/watt ratio.

...

I loses mostly because all the blinkenlights were fake. They didn't reflect anything the computer did.
Even the curved shape and plex windows of the Cray2 were for a reason.

We're only just getting started. Moar USB-C ports! The USB-C train has no brakes!

Nothing you wrote has any relevance to this thread.

>the memory and CPU are on those daughter cards you see below the GPU.
RAM is on the daughter boards (or risers as Apple calls them), but the CPUs are behind that silver panel to the left of the risers. The box to the left of that contains the fans for RAM, CPU and PCIe cards.
SATA HDs are in the numbered sleds above the board. Above that are the optical drives and the power supply.

Especially when you're probably a Linux noob or at best a BSD noob.

My current case infact.

We'll seem to be none on eBay..

Well, there's this

How'd you find that? I searched Toshiba libretto and only found chargers

>but r12k etc always had much better floating point performance than any comparable x86 intel made.
all the big RISCs did, it was one of their primary selling points
x86 didn't because their target market for a long time didn't give a fuck about floating point performance, desktop computing is all about integer math, which the likes of MIPS sucked shit at in comparison
>Would be cool to have some real processing power
MIPS was shit dude, even among the RISCs it wasn't all that impressive and it was only good because of its simplicity and more importantly the SGI architecture and software built around it, and even then, by 2000 most of that software was already ported to a new wave of NT workstations that did the same work at an eighth of the price at nearly the same speed with more general versatility and usability to boot, once x86-64 came into the equation those overpriced shitheaps were finished
> instead of still using the same overcharged 8088 x86 architecture
desktop MIPS was just a successive line of R10K die shrinks in its later years, PA-RISC just a bunch of incremental improvements on the PA-8000, and so on
any established architecture is going to build on its previous iterations, that's just how technology works, throwing everything out for the sake of it is just pure masturbation
>It's literally same shit than in 1980 but with faster buses and addons.
not really, modern iterations of x86 are vastly different from the 8088/8086 in almost every respect and the architecture as a whole has evolved far more than any of the stagnant proprietary RISCs ever did in their short lifetimes

you niggers need to learn from the mistakes of the past already and stop regurgitating the same old lame marketing talking points that never pan out

Plan 9 is bloat

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!

unless they fixed the x86 emulation for a smooth transition there was no way it was going to happen, x86-64 would have come eventually
plus the Itanium just wasn't a good desktop chip, really, later revisions may have brought the floating-point performance up to par but versus the Pentium 4 and company the metrics that actually mattered for a desktop user were lackluster at best and certainly not worth the price tag
they did intend Itanium to replace x86 on the desktop originally though, maintaining the Pentium III/4 for a short while, but after they utterly shit the bed with Merced they (or more their partners) gave up on it
even workstation wise the Itanium never really made it, other than the abortion of a reference system that became the HP i2000/SGI 750/Dell Precision 730 and a couple other one-offs from SGI and HP

>What do you expect from a System V derived Unix?
No, that's not it. HP-UX is great and it's derived from System III and V.
The problem of AIX is the system is robust and reliable under normal conditions, but if something breaks you're probably never going to fix it because the system is impenetrable and actively hostile - for example the logs are full of spam, useless shit like "Error: event 34 failed", and sometimes the error is not displayed or logged at all.
I'd also like to know how IBM managed to fuck the CLI so much everyone is practically forced to use smit to manage the system.

Thanks, I've always cherished the opinions of random NEETs served to me on hungarian gulash-cooking forums.

I've had one. It died 10 days after I bought it. Fucking Intel and their "premium" products.

Horrific in all honesty. The carbide 270R is nice though.

that looks like something from 80's fashion magazine. Very nice.

something 12 year old would like. I guess you have to be kinda insecure about your masculinity to buy such a thing
