SGI pretty much was the big dog when it came to graphics back in the 80s. Then people started making video cards that would plut into PCs that were pretty good. Then PCs started adding focusing on graphcs which was SGI’s forte. now they are essentially without a market which of course means they have low market share in all the markets in which they try to compete.
SGI bought out the remnants of Cray Supercomputer so they will have a special place in my heart for that. But I’m not quite so confident that they can pull thigns together enough to remain a bran that people will care about. I wonder if they are just trying to make themselves look interesting enough for a buy out from someone else.
