I'm reading that as somewhat unfavourably comparable with a mid-level mobile phone, as of 2023. Phone will certainly have more CPU cores, probably has as much RAM as the maxed-out SGI, and better graphics ability. SGI might win out on floating-point maths, persistent storage, and system cooling, but I wouldn't bet on it.
