Yeah I out of all the processors in our computer room (x86 outnumbers
Usparcs pretty heavily), I don not recall a x86 cpu failure in the time
that I have worked here (almost 4 years) however off the top of my head
I can think of at least 4 or 5 UltraSparc processors that died maybe
more after reviewing the outage logs. That said, I still prefer Sun
hardware.

I was kind of shocked when an new e450 had a proc fail within a month of
delivery.
