Hewlett-Packard Co has now opted for November 10 as the date for its next series of workstation and technology launches. While the company is keeping tight-lipped on about what exactly it will be announcing, we understand there will be several new models at entry-level, mid-range and high-end price-performance points. One that has emerged from the silence is the Model 735 which, like the other models, is expected to use a 99MHz version of Hewlett-Packard’s PA 7100 chip. The should produce performance levels of about 150 SpecMarks, compared with the current 85.4 SpecMarks. The chip doubles the instruction cache to 256Kb, the same size as the data cache. The workstation should come with from 32Mb to 400Mb memory. A top-end Model 760 has also been mentioned. Current HP/Apollo 9000 Series 700 models include the 705, 710, 720, 730 and 750.
