Intergraph Corporation Introduces New 3000-Series Products;
10-MIPS Processing Power Extended to Entire Product Range
Huntsville, Alabama, January 6, 1989 -- Intergraph
Corporation announced today a new line of workstations and
servers, the 3000 Series. All powered by Intergraph's 10-MIPS
C300 CLIPPER microprocessor, the 3000 Series offers full binary
compatability, ensuring that software created on earlier
generations of Intergraph workstations will run without
modification. Current Intergraph 300 Series workstations can be
field upgraded to 3000 Series specifications.
The 3000 Series broadens the product line recently
introduced by Intergraph's 3070 workstation with its large 27",
2 Megapixel display. Using an operating system based on UNIX
System V, Release 3.1 (with full Berkeley extensions), the
3000 Series supports industry standard software for compilers,
graphics, communications and file sharing.
All of Intergraph's 3000 Series workstations are configured
with separate CLIPPER CPU, Intel 80386 I/O processor, and custom
graphics processors for maximum performance in all applications.
The InterPro 3070 workstation (priced at $56,000) and other
3000 Series products (priced from $45,000) are available
immediately.
Configurations Offer Graphics Power With Ergonomic Flexibility
The new workstation line offers various levels of graphics
performance: the InterPro 3060 includes high-speed Gouraud
shading, and the InterPro 3070 features the industry's first 27"
2 Megapixel display.
Intergraph's 3000 Series workstations offer three proven
ergonomic configurations, from the single-screen InterPro
professional workstation to the dual-screen production-oriented
InterAct and InterView workstations. The desktop
monitor/keyboard module and deskside electronics modules optimize
user convenience, making minimum demands on desk space. The
InterPro 3000 Series electronics modules are configured in either
8-slot "suitcase" or 12-slot "lowboy" formats for expansion
flexibility.
Memory options for the 3000 Series range from 16MB to 112MB
of main memory. Disk options can extend the InterPro's disk
capacity from the standard 355MB or 670MB capacity up to 7GB.
3000 Series Servers Provide Additional Processing Power
Intergraph's Series 3000 products also include two C300
CLIPPER-powered servers, the InterServe 3005 and InterServe 4000.
The InterServe 3005, designed for shared compute and file server
applications, is configured as a 19"-rack lowboy with 670MB to
6GB of disk capacity. The InterServe 4000, designed for very
large shared compute, file and I/O operations, is a two-bay
server providing 584MB to 23GB of disk memory.
Flexible Architecture/Performance Retains Binary Compatibility
Because Intergraph's workstation architecture includes three
modular subsystems - the UNIX-based CPU, the graphics processor,
and the I/O processor - the company is able to improve
performance by upgrading any subsystem.
The new 3000 Series is based on a 10-MIPS version of
Intergraph's C300 CPU. In the future, enhancements to the CPU
and the graphics subsystem will provide significant performance
increases without impacting the other subsystems. This flexible
system architecture, coupled with CLIPPER performance from 4 MIPS
to 20 MIPS and full binary compatibility across the full product
line offer a combination unique in the industry. Because users
can tailor workstation and server performance to their specific
job requirements, Intergraph's 3000 Series can deliver
exceptional value to every customer.
Future 3000 Series Products with 20 MIPS Performance
The 3000 Series product line will continue to expand during
the first half of 1989, featuring new products based on the
Intergraph C300 CLIPPER microprocessor, with performance levels
to 14 and 20 MIPS. Intergraph's continued commitment to full
binary compatability will ensure that software from earlier
systems will run on future models without modification.
Intergraph Corporation offers a product line ranging from
microprocessor modules to workstations and complete application-
specific systems for computer-aided engineering, design,
manufacturing, and publishing. A "Fortune 500" company,
Intergraph is the world's largest company dedicated to developing
