         AS/400 Extends RPMark95 Performance Leadership                 
                          Client Server Labs                            
                                                                        
 AS/400 once again extends it leadership position in the Client Server  
 Labs RPMark95 performance benchmark.  This key multi-application       
 performance benchmark has become a hallmark for measuring client       
 server multi-user and multi-application commercial environments.       
 The previous leading RPMark was held by AS/400 Mod 50S, Feature #2121  
 uni-processor since Feb '96 (485.40 RPMarks, $196.48/RPMark).          
                                                                        
 AS/400 Model 53S, FC#2155 (2-way) shatters the old RPMark with a new   
 performance level of 722.40 RPMarks at $156.24/RPMark.                 
                                                                        
 Nine other vendors, reporting over 30 test, using even the latest 4-way 
 Intel based 200 MHz Pentium Pro processors have not beaten the AS/400  
 Mod 50S uni-processor and continue to show less than 6-8% scalability  
 between their one to four way processor configurations.  The AS/400    
 Model 53S FC#2155 has raised the performance bar 150% above the nearest 
 competitor for raw performance in this multi-application benchmark.    
                                                                        
               REAL WORLD MULTI-APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT                 
                                                                        
 The "client/server computing" environment tested uses distributed      
 applications, OLTP, Decision Support and File Serving Office Automation 
 to stress various system components that model the loading on C/S in   
 real-world environments. The results of the 3 applications are then    
 reported using the geometric mean of the test suite results.  The      
 RPMark95 test is designed to approximate the workload which might      
 typically be placed upon a multi-user server by 150 users operating    
 simultaneously.                                                        
                                                                        
 The RPMark95 test suite includes the following tests:              
                                                                        
  1. OLTP Application - primarily the new order portion of TPC-C BM     
  2. DSS Applications - 5 query types from TPC-D BM                     
  3. FS/Office Applic - includes Harvard Graphics, Lotus 1-2-3, MS Word, 
                        cc:Mail, Freelance Graphics                     
                                                                        
 Total DASD requirements are around 8GB.
