I am interested in obtaining benchmark information for HP 9000/425t workstations (if any of the '040 machines are actually out there :-). SPECmarks would be of most interest as I can compare these with info from other vendors. If you have other benchmarks I would be interested in seeing results for it on other workstations so I have a basis for comparision. I do NOT need MIPS or MFLOPS ratings, I have these. BTW, I would be running DOMAIN/OS, but results from either environment would be useful.

I guess a lot of people are interested in seeing those SPECmarks and comparing them too, including myself. Unfortunately HP for some reason has not been releasing any of those numbers despite the fact that they are a member supporting SPEC's unified benchmarking effort. Interesting indeed. If you can find any of those numbers tested, please let me know too!

From my 'friendly local HP/Apollo representative' (he really is) -- The 68040 chips are shipping in limited quantities to HP-UX nodes only. Apparently, one of the Apollo requirements for backward compatibility was not met by the chips. Motorola is fixing them, and HP/Apollo expects to start Apollo 9000/425t upgrades in January. From me -- If this is wrong, please do not flame my friendly local HP/Apollo representative, who is probably being mis-quoted.

(Honeywell's do not necessarily agree with mine or reality's, either)

I believe they are still waiting for a working 040 chip from Motorola. -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
