DEC CUTS PRICES ON VAXSTATION 3100 IN ANTICIPATION OF NEW MODELS

By CBR Staff Writer

DEC has said that there will be new VAXstations announced over the next six months or so, and it is cutting prices on its VAXstation-3100 models in preparation for the new equipment. Electronic News says that cuts of up to 29% are also an attempt to put 3100 pricing on par with the company’s Unix-based RISC machines and offerings from competitors like Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems. DEC acknowledges that the 3100 has been overpriced compared with the already reduced RISC series, and says that wants to achieve parity that users can make a choice on technology and software rather than cost. It is still unclear what sort of performance users can expect from the upcoming machines, but analysts are betting on either a 7 MIPS or an 11 MIPS model, possibly as early as September.
