- Excerpts from an HP booklet (Workstation Update Jan 93):
-
- Model 720 725/50 730 735
- -------------------------------------------
- Int.Perf. MIPS 57 62 76 124
- SpecMark89 66.5 69 86.6 147
- SpecInt92 38.9 36 52 80
- SpecFP92 65.3 72 86.7 150
- [...] [7x5 use newer PA-RISC 7100]
- Clock MHz 50 50 66 99
- Float.Pt. MFLOP 17 13 23 40
- [...]
- Inst.Cache Kb 128 64 128 256
- Data Cache Kb 256 64 256 256
-
- (I can't quite figure out the MFLOP numbers - they look wrong for
- the 725, but that's what's printed. Perhaps the smaller cache ?
- Anyway, there is no 720 -> 725 upgrade listed ;-)
