From the EE Times article in question ...

| The tests compared the Sun-3 to .... Hewlett-Packard's 9000 and 825 ....

The HP 9000 is a SERIES, not a computer.  The 9000 series encompasses a wide
variety of 68020 based boxes (models 330, 350, etc) and Preision Architecture
based boxes (models 825, 850, etc).  Does anyone know which machine 'HP9000'
is alluding to?

And my favorite quote from the same ...

| "But we still haven't seen any areas of study that say RISC has been 
| implemented and shown a marked improvement in real world applications."

Remember that there are those who believe that we still haven't seen any
areas of study that say that smoking is bad for your health. :-)

I can see it now, on the top of every 80386 and 68020 ...
        The Surgeon General has determined that CISC architectures can
        be hazardous to your health.
