- DEC has been quoting Mflops for a number of their systems, such as the
- DECstation 5000 family...etc. I am asking if they can supply a Mflop rating
- for the Alpha, that is obtained by using the same Mflop benchmarks that they
- have used to rate some of their other systems. For example, the VAX9000VP
- is rated at 125Mflops. How does the Alpha compare to the VAX9000VP?
