Compaq thrashes IBM, HP, Fujitsu
4-way TPC-C results

WHEN WE VISITED Compaq's swanky City HQ near St Paul's Cathedral yesterday, Richard George, who does an extremely good job evangelising Alpha and the servers which carry us, gave us a copy of the latest TPC-C results.
And very impressive they are too, with the ES45 spanking the pants off Fujitsu, HP, and IBM.
George also claimed that Compaq had managed to increase Unix market share in the UK following the announcement of the Intel-Compaq technology swap, and the HP-Compaq takeover.
He said that Compaq was on track to produce several new Alpha servers during this year using the "copper whopper" 1GHz Alpha.
And there are speed ramps ahead for the Alpha too, with figures like 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz being mentioned in the conversation.

Meanwhile, the folks at Openvms.org have a fresh survey for you to sample. µ
