My original question:
Does anyone know if there are any published benchmarks available that
would allow one to do a valid comparison of an AlphaServer 2100 5/300
versus the new DS20 6/500. I have looked at the specs on Compaq's
AlphaServer comparison charts but none the benchmarks shown match up.
Those for the older AS2100 5/300 show values for "TPM" and "SPECint92",
"SPECfp92" etc. while those for the new DS20 show values for "tpmC
_at_$/tmpC", "SPECint95" and "SPECfp95" etc. First off, I don't really
know what these numbers mean and am not sure which values would give me
a valid "apples-to-apples" comparison of these two systems.
Thanks to all who replied. My responses referred to the following
websites for more info on these benchmarks:
http://www.spec.org/

For info on what the different spec marks mean, check out the
