HP introduces PA-8700 based SuperdomePalo Alto 18 September 2001 Hewlett-Packard announced PA-8700 processor-based systems. The PA-8700 processor, based on PA-RISC technology, is available for the high-end flagship HP Server Superdome, the mid-range HP Server rp7400 (formerly the N-class) and HP Server rp8400 systems and the HP Workstations c3700 and j6700.
With the PA-8700 processor, the HP Superdome server is expected to
provide up to double the performance gains in industry
benchmarks and applications required by enterprise resource planning,
supply chain management, business intelligence, customer relationship
management and technical computing.
The HP Workstation J6700 using the PA-8700 processor delivers
industry-leading performance measured up to 29 percent above Sun's
UltraSparc III 900 MHz, unparalleled memory and compute density(1).
Targeted for the EDA and MCAE markets, the HP Workstation j6700 has
the capacity to handle complex designs and simulations faster than any
other dual processor UNIX workstation on the market.
The PA-8700 processor is currently shipping with HP Superdome, HP
Server rp7400 and the new HP Server rp8400 systems, as well as with
the HP Workstations c3700 and j6700. The PA-8700 processor is expected
to be available on other HP UNIX systems later this fall.
