You're comparing a niche product to a mainstream product. The proper comparison to E980 is HP's superdome flex (the old SGI tech) which scales to 32S/8 nodes (maybe more if you ask nicely with cash in hand...) and uses an expensive proprietary interconnect like the E980 but on top of x86 instead of POWER.
