Hi,

I just got an
HP9000 K Class K570 server. It's got dual 200Mhz PA-RISC
processors and 1GB RAM, plus some arsenal of hard drives.
I've never worked with HP PA-RISC machines before. What's this equivalent
to in terms of Intel processor power?
For Interger performance it's slightly better than a Pentium II
350Mhz, and for Floating Point, it's somewhere around a Pentium III
500-550Mhz. The other thing to remember is that the PA-RISC chip is
64-bit. I'm guessing the K570 also weighs a lot more than any normal
Pentium II or Pentium III system :^)
According to the SPEC website a K570 1 cpu runs:
SPEC95fp 23.0 SPECint 14.6
if such figures mean anything.
(I've been thinking of playing with a PS-RISC machine myself which is
why I had the figures to hand...)
