HP Finally Reveals The Alpha Marvel

Posted by timothy on from the sequels-are-sometimes-good dept.

brejc8 writes "HP have revealed the new range of AlphaServer systems. The new EV7 processors show very reasonable performance figures. Revealed by the inquirer the 1GHz versions have very similar SPEC scores as the 1GHz Itanium 2 (INT_2000 of 875 and FP_2000 of 1,500). This is very intersting after HP were rumoured to ensure that "...no Alpha benchmark will be released until the Itanium platform(s) is/are faster"."

    Carly,

    With the increasing complexity of security issues, has your team at HP Research centers been interrogated or questioned mildly by any federal crime/security groups such as the RSA, CIA, or FBI?
