HP Finally Reveals The Alpha Marvel

Posted by timothy on Monday January 20, 2003 @07:24AM 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"."

Thats only if you speak "American" (i.e. often spoken to non-english speakers (usually in their own country), slowly and at high volume).

Rumoured is the English spelling, used in England and many other countries which don't have 'America' in their name.

Other examples are colour, programme and aluminium. While we're on the subject, they're not 'drapes', they're 'curtains', and its not a 'sofa', its a 'couch'.
