Re: Multiple CPUs

Here's the performance table with a dual PPro system added:

System Price SPECint SPECfp $/int $/fp
200 MHz PPro $1,710 8.1 6.7 211 255
Dual PPro $2,860 13.8 11.4 208 251
300 MHz PPro 12.1 10.0
Alpha-366 $2,630 10.1 14.2 260 185
Alpha-433 $2,930 13.6 16.2 215 211

CAD software doesn't currently support quad-PPro systems. Core
Microsystems told me that some software supports dual PPros and you
get a 50% performance increase. DEC also has multiple CPU systems,
but I don't know how good the software support is.
