Control Data Corp is one of many companies launching MIPS Computer Systems Inc-based hardware in the reflected light of the Advanced Computing Environment announcements. The company’s new offerings are the 4320 and 4350 workstations, using a 33MHz version of the 32-bit R3000A chip, and the 4350, a server using the same chip, which Control Data rates at 31 SPECmarks and is offering for $30,000. The Minneapolis mainframer buys its machines OEM from MIPS Computer, and the new models are the ones MIPS introduced earlier the month (CI No 1,645).
