The Sun VX is rated at 40 MIPS and 60 MFLOPS. There is a multi-processor MVX board available that will raise performance to 160 MIPS and 240 MFLOPS. I'm surprised that no one has even mentioned this. I'm also surprised that it is also almost on the last page. The whole world new about the IPC release. Does anyone know anything about the newest of the new Suns? Kevin W.
