In today's New York Times, there is an article about the new HP Snake line.
The story places the low-end Snake (720?) at 57 MIPS, 55 Specmarks for
$12,000.

This will obviously cramp the digestion of competing workstation makers.

Does anyone know how these numbers were achieved?  Are they misleading in
any way?
