“Originally released in 1993, the Onyx from SiliconGraphics was an absolute powerhouse.”
Square built its 3D Final Fantasy on SGI Onyx machines that took up to 8 GB of RAM in the mid-1990s. The graphics board alone carried twelve Intel i860 CPUs. All of it got squeezed onto a PlayStation with 2 MB of RAM. SGI sold the shovels for the 3D gold rush and still went broke.
