HP AlphaServer systems outperform competition

Highly scalable systems provide powerful expansion

• New AlphaServer systems deliver incredible memory bandwidth making expansion easy and efficient
• STREAM benchmark measures real memory bandwidth, eliminating "cache" bias of other standard benchmarks

• Benchmarked in real customer setting and HP labs
• Delivering scalable I/O bandwidth for the most demanding data intensive environments

AlphaServer systems family delivers performance superior to IBM and SUN for commercial computing ³

• SPECint_rate2000 performance advantage of 6% to 164% (more than double) against comparable general purpose IBM eServer pSeries systems.¹
• 
  SPECint_rate2000 performance advantage of 45% to 70% against comparable general purpose Sun Blade and Sun Fire systems.²

AlphaServer systems family delivers performance superior to IBM and SUN for technical computing³

• SPECfp_rate2000 performance advantage of 23% to 277% (more than triple) against comparable general purpose IBM eServer pSeries systems.¹

• SPECfp_rate2000 performance advantage of 102% to 150% (more than double) against comparable general purpose Sun Blade and Sun Fire systems.²

Delivering significant application performance enhancements over previous systems

Combining balanced system design, with dramatic improvements in memory and I/O bandwidth turn into real application performance improvements

30% to 50% increases in application performance seen for Tru64 UNIX® environments and 50% to 100% and even higher seen for OpenVMS environments. (comparisons based on GS1280 and GS160 systems with similar configurations)
