CompuAdd launches new PentiumR pro-powered workstations.AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 1995-- CompuAdd Corporation today introduced a new line of workstations powered by Intel s most powerful microprocessor, the PentiumR Pro. CompuAdd's new C6 series runs at speeds up to 200MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. on a Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. 3.51 platform, packs a 3D graphics accelerator A display adapter that performs a specialized set of graphics functions to render an image on screen. Today, all display adapters provide basic rendering functions in hardware, but many have graphics processing units (GPUs) that are sophisticated computers. from AccelGraphics, a minimum of 64MB RAM, and is tuned for optimum MCAD MCAD Microsoft Certified Application Developer MCAD Mechanical Computer Aided Design MCAD Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (inherited metabolic disease) MCAD Minneapolis College of Art and Design performance. The C6150 workstation, employing Intel s 150MHz Pentium Pro The sixth generation of the Intel x86 family of CPU chips. The term may refer to the chip or to a PC that uses it. Introduced in 1995 as the successor to the Pentium, models from 150 MHz to 200 MHz were released. processor, will be available December. And the C6200, employing Intel s 200MHz Pentium Pro processor, is slated for shipment the first quarter of 1996. Pricing for the C6150 starts at $13,500. In making this announcement, Rick Krause, CompuAdd CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , said: The C6 series is the latest example of our commitment to being the price/performance leader in the workstation business. The Pentium Pro processor gives us the horsepower we need to run Windows NT better. AccelGraphics 3D accelerator helps MCAD software complete the most complex of designs faster. The result is superior performance without resource limitations. Rich Bowles, Intel s program director added, We have had a strong relationship with CompuAdd since its founding in 1982 and we are very enthusiastic about their entering the workstation market. Our Pentium Pro chipset was developed to meet this market s demand for more processing power. The workstations CompuAdd developed use that power to deliver extraordinary performance.

He noted these segments typically employ workstations and servers running 32-bit operating systems and software, such as Windows NT, which will be a highly competitive choice. CompuAdd Corporation was founded in 1982 and is based in Austin, Texas. The company is a recognized pioneer in the manufacture and marketing of technology products and in the establishment of after-sale service and support standards. -0- Editors note--for toll-free information, your readers may call 1-800-477-7606 CONTACT: Sandy Flora Ira Rogers and Company 512-476-8094 ext. 105 Internet sflora@irarogers.com or Dania Buchanan CompuAdd Computer Corporation 512-331-2768 |
