- Back to discussing benchmarks...
-
- According to Digital News and Review, DEC has officially announced a new
- model Alpha: AlphaStation 250 4/266. This is the one I heard about
- that has the 128 bit bus and 2Meg cache. Here are the Spec92 benchmarks:
-
- AlphaStation 400 4/233 250 4/266
- Clock rate 233MHz 266MHz about 15% increase
- Specint92 157.7 198.6 about 25% increase
- Specfp92 183.9 262.5 about 43% increase
-
- Depending on the graphics card & monitor you are looking at about $12-14K.
-
- Questions:
- 1)What are the Spec92 numbers for a 100MHz pentium running WinNT 3.5?
-
- 2)What effect does the 128bit bus and cache have on "application"
- benchmarks? The www.dec.com web server has a good WNT3.5 performance
- report which includes some interesting "application" benchmarks for
- Word, Excel, and Autocad (CADbench93), but they don't include the
- new 128bit bus machines yet. Note: a 90MHz pentium does pretty darn
- good in these tests, especially for the price difference.
-
- 3)How is the work coming on developing the Lightbench95 benchmark? ;-)
