OOPS!  I made a mistake when reading off and entering the individual
SPEC ratings for the Cobra (HPA9000/720).  I hope the following table is
correct.  The full "HP Apollo 9000 Series 700 Performace Brief" report
is very comprehensive (41 pages, with Reference list) and contains many
more benchmark ratings and comparisons (with, hopefully, fewer errors)
than my excerpts posted to the net.  You can get copies of this report
from your nearest HP office.

HP9000/730  46.5 55.2  50.3 52.6    60.9  64.0  73.7  273.3  107.0 67.4
HP9000/720  35.2 42.5  38.1 40.6    46.9  48.6  58.0  210.0   81.4 52.9
                       ^^^^

So the Cobra I-SPECmark becomes (35.2*42.5*38.1*40.6)^(1/4) = 39.0. Exactly
as claimed by HP.
