Alpha system delivers
greatest processor performance
updated: October 15, 2001
The industry standard SPECint2000 and SPECfp2000 are CPU-intensive
benchmarks that measure the data processing power of a single
processor. The Compaq Alpha processor in the AlphaServer
ES45 system delivers the greatest data processing power of
all of its competitors.
- AlphaServer ES45 system is faster than its competitors
by a significant margin of 45% to 75%.
- Superior integer processor performance makes databases,
operating systems and most applications run faster.
Best single CPU UNIX RISC performance with SPECint2000,
compared to IBM and HP quad processor systems and best Sun
workstation peformance.
- AlphaServer ES45 system is 2 to 2.5 times as fast as
its competitors.
- Superior floating-point processor performance makes applications
such as simulation, modeling, sophisticated business data
analysis and other compute intensive applications run faster.
Best single CPU UNIX RISC performance with SPECfp2000, compared
to IBM and HP quad processor systems and best Sun workstation
performance. Note: IBM SP-375 SPECfp2000 result is 382.
The SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks are the most commonly used standard
benchmarks for measuring processor performance, with its
associated memory subsystem and compiler technologies. Compaq
AlphaServer systems have dominated the SPEC performance ratings
since their introduction in 1992.
SPEC(r) and the benchmark name SPECcpu2000(r), SPECfp2000,

Competitive benchmark results used above reflect results
published on www.spec.org as of Oct 15, 2001. The comparisons
presented are based on the best performing UNIX RISC 4-CPU
servers from HP and IBM (and the best single processor system
from Sun). For the latest SPECcpu2000 benchmark results,
