[ziad_4]

hi,
i have a system that result the following information.
-----------------------------
# psrinfo -v
Status of processor 0 as of: 08/19/04 11:53:51
Processor has been on-line since 08/10/2004 17:48:08
The alpha EV6.8CB (21264C) processor operates at 1250 MHz,
has a cache size of 16777216 bytes,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor
----------------------------------------------
the processor speed is 1250.
L2 cache is 16MB.
but the processor is 21264C.

according to HP the above specifications is for a processor of type 21264D.

so what is the problem!!

Hi Ziad,

yes i have an alpha ES45 system which is running Tru64unix ver 5.1B.
but according to HP this system can cotain one of two processor types: either
- alpha EV6.8(21264C)which has the following specification:1000 MHz,8 MB cache

or

- alpha EV6.8(21264D) which has the following specifications:1250MHZ,16MB.

my system contains
alpha EV6.8CB(21264C) and has the specifications:1250MHZ,16MB cache

i have an alphaserver es45 with 4 cpus and the model is EV6.8CB (21264C) 1250Mhz, but on the site www.compaq.com/alphaserver/es45/ in the specifications site the model is 21264D...I have a specification guide and the model 21264D is of EV6.8CX model of cpu and not of EV6.8CB!

I believe that the mystery is resolved!

Bye,Francesco
