Elmer & Intel Investors - How can an Alpha Server perform more than twice as fast as a 4-way SMP 400 MHz XEON Server?

Answer -

Create an Alpha Server using EIGHT Alpha 21164 chips running at 625 MHz!

Check out this report:

{===========================}
newsalert.com

"In the high-end UNIX market, the Digital AlphaServer 8400 from Compaq, the world's most powerful 64-bit symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system, achieved a Baan-certified result of 8027 BRU.
This performance breakthrough employed Baan IVc software and Informix Corporation's 64-bit Online Dynamic Server database system V7.3, on a single 64 bit AlphaServer 8400 SMP system powered by only eight 625 MHz Alpha processors running Digital UNIX from Compaq. This is the highest number of Baan Reference Users ever achieved by any computing platform utilizing only
eight processors .

For customers seeking the greater flexibility and price/performance of the industry standard Windows NT environment, Compaq provides world-record performance of 3232 BRU on its new ProLiant 7000 with four 400 MHz Intel Pentium II Xeon processors. This record, certified by Baan, was achieved using Windows NT V4.0 and Microsoft's SQL Server database V7.0, and demonstrates the price/performance superiority of Compaq's industry standard computing offerings"
