 sparc workstation sales figures? Anybody know what Sun's total quarterly workstation sales figures are? I'd say less than 30k based on Sun's statement that SB150 does about 15k units and SB1500/SB2500 nearly 10k, and that SB1500/2500 combines sales of 9369 amount to 18% of the total units. By contrast, Apple G5 (64-bit unix machine) is already at about 100-150k units per quarter by my estimate (Apple sells approaching 200k powermacs per quarter, and they say the proportion of G5 is "rich"). http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflas...0040217.1.html It's very depressing. in my opinion Sun should drop their prices for workstations.

I don't think Sun actually wants to sell any workstations. I think they appear purely out of a sense of obligation. Frankly, I think Sun should be nearly giving them away in order to build a little more loyalty from the SysAdmins who make the decisions. -- Andre. |
