Following the recent discussion on where the new VAXen fit in, I though
the following table might be of interest. It is based on information
obtained from DEC, so the figures shown are not based on an independent
assessment, however they give a useful comparative guide.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODEL PERFORMANCE CPU RAM DISK TYP. USERS
MIPS MBytes MBytes TYPICAL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MicroVAX I 0.3 1 1-9 31+ 1-4 Obsolete
MicroVAX II 0.9 1 1-9 71+ 1-24
VAX 11/725 0.4 1 1-4 120+ 1-4 Obsolete
VAX 11/730 0.4 1 1-9 450+ 1-16 Obsolete
VAX 11/750 0.6 1 1-8 450+ 5-32
VAX 11/780 1.0 1 1-32 450+ 10-50
VAX 11/782 1.8 2 1-32 450+ 10-50 Obsolete
VAX 11/785 2.0 1 4-64 450+ 10-80
VAX 8200 1.1 1 2-16 450+ 10-80
VAX 8300 2.0 2 2-14 450+ 10-120
VAX 8600 3.8 1 4-68 1350+ 20-250
VAX 8650 5.5 1 4-68 1350+ 20-250
VAX 8800 11.0 2 32 1800+ 50-500
VAX Cluster 1-100 2-15+ <=== several of the above ===>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although not obsolete at present, the 750,780 and probably the 785 will become
so as the 8200 and 8300 become available in volume.
