________________________________________________________________________________

The benchmarks in this bulletin are offered for general comparison analysis and example only. For

definitive measurements, VARs and end users should verify actual performance based upon their

specific applications and environments. The benchmarks we use give an overall indication of

system throughput. It’s important to note that the way your application software uses the system

may produce results different from those suggested by our benchmarks.

System Index (SI)

The SI benchmark measures processor and memory performance in the 680X0 environment. The

measure is relative to the original WDC-based Alpha Micro computer, the AM-100, which was

arbitrarily assigned an SI of 1. See the table below; bigger numbers are better.

As shown on the bottom line of the table, the AM-6060 yields an SI value of 137.0. Compare that

with the 79.9 measured on an Eagle 500, a few lines above. The Eagle 500 is installed as a network

server at many sites.

Measured by the SI test, strictly as one processor against

the other, the

AM-6060 is more than 70% faster than the Eagle 500.

Keep in mind that the SI reflects processor speed only, not overall system performance as users will

experience it. Factors such as disk accessing and the effect of multiple users are not measured. For

a more comprehensive view, see the DOABEN benchmark on the next page.
