The new Alpha is a DEC 2100 5/250.  It's a 5th generation DECChip (the
current Alpha is a 4th generation, the VAXes were 3rd generation and
before, etc).  Here are some of the stats:
 
System Name:               SEA        (the current Alpha is called OCEAN)
Clock Rate:                250 Mhz    (OCEAN is 190 MHz)
Simultaneous Instructions: 4          (OCEAN does 2 simultaneously)
Max. Instructions/second:  1 billion  (1 BIP or 1000 MIPS)
SpecInt92:                 277.1      (OCEAN is 122.4)
Specfp92:                  410.4      (OCEAN is 185.4)
Memory:                    512 MB
System Bus:                667 MB/sec
Expansions Buses:          PCI/EISA
 
SEA will become the main interactive system.  OCEAN will be used primarily
for batch and background tasks.
 
In addition, we will be adding 256 MB of memory to the OCEAN.  This will
bring it's total to 512 MB of memory.  There will also be a FDDI (fiber
optic) network between the 2 systems to handle the increased network
traffic expected with this configuration.
