Alpha system delivers
greatest multiprocessor performance
updated: October 15, 2001
The industry standard SPECint_rate2000 and SPECfp_rate2000
are CPU-intensive benchmarks that measure the data processing
power of multiple processors in a system. The Alpha processors
in the AlphaServer ES45 system deliver more data processing
power than any of its competitors.
- AlphaServer ES45 system is faster than its competitors
by a significant margin of 50% to 75%.
- Superior integer processor performance makes databases,
operating systems and most applications run faster.
Best 4-CPU UNIX RISC performance with SPECint2000, compared
to IBM and HP quad processor systems.
- AlphaServer ES45 system is 2.2 to 2.5 times as fast as
its competitors.
- Superior floating-point processor performance makes applications
such as simulation, modeling, sophisticated business data
analysis and other compute intensive applications run faster.
Best 4-CPU UNIX RISC performance with SPECfp2000, compared
to IBM and HP quad processor systems.
The SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks are the most commonly used standard
benchmarks for measuring processor performance, with its
associated memory subsystem and compiler technologies. Compaq
AlphaServer systems have dominated the SPEC performance ratings
since their introduction in 1992.

Competitive benchmark results used above reflect results
published on www.spec.org as of Oct 15, 2001. The comparisons
presented are based on the best performing UNIX RISC 4-CPU
servers from HP and IBM (and the best single processor system
from Sun). For the latest SPECcpu2000 benchmark results,
