I wonder whether it all went wrong when SGI bought Cray Research in '96 or if things were already sliding downhill by then.

- protomyth 11y agoI think in 1995 with the Windows NT strategy marked the end. They were sliding in 96 and had already sold patents to Microsoft by then.
- rvense 11y agoI think they were just torn between doubling down on their own RISC processors or moving with the times and going Intel. They ended up trying to do both, and that's never going to work.
