New SGI O2+ visual workstation

Los Angeles 14 August 2001 There are new Silicon Graphics O2+ visual workstations with the PMC-Sierra RM7000A 350 MHz processor and the MIPS R12000A 400 MHz processor. O2+ is targeted at creative and technical professionals in markets such as medical imaging, scientific visualization, 2D and 3D animation, broadcasting, simulation and defense. The new O2+ visual workstation delivers up to 47% more compute power and 32% more graphics performance than its precursor, and support for over 900 MByte resident texture memory from available system memory in a 1 Gbyte memory configuration.

The new O2+ workstation delivers more than 60% price/performance improvement over the previous-generation O2 workstation with its value-rich configurations with additional system memory and disk space.

The Silicon Graphics O2+ visual workstation starts at $7,495 (U.S. list) and is available immediately from authorized SGI solution providers.

Features include:

Powerful processing with either the PMC-Sierra RM7000A 350 MHz processor with 256KB L2 cache, 1MB L3 cache or MIPS R12000A 400 MHz processor with 2MB L2 cache for top application performance
High system value with more system memory included in standard configurations than previous O2 configurations - 256MB to 1GB synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) system memory option for real-time interactivity with very large data sets
Expansive 18GB disk space for the starting configurations
Affordable price - starting at $7,495 (U.S. list) for the RM7000A configuration with 256MB SDRAM and $14,495 (U.S. list) for the R12000A configuration with 512MB SDRAM
Innovative Unified Memory Architecture for unmatched price/performance
High-quality digital image processing and real-time compression and decompression for 2D/3D rendering and broadcast graphics
Volume rendering and large textures (over 900MB available texture memory in a 1GB memory configuration) for scientific imaging
