Interesting, Them guys gave a presentation over here some time ago. The numbers they "quoted" for a HP Superdome was 80 MIPS per engine, with up to 64 engines.
Are they now stating that using Itaniums can generate 350 MIPS per engine, that means that upgrading from the original HP Superdome, to an Itanium based system, is a 400% improvement.
