Product Brief

HP VISUALIZE Workstation Models C160 and C180-XP bring the world's 
fastest graphics and fastest processor to the desktop. The combination 
of superior graphics, compute performance, and price/performance makes 
these HP VISUALIZE C-Class systems ideal for MDA, EDA, Exploration and
Production, GIS, and Medical Imaging applications - as well as fluid 
dynamics and structural analysis, thanks to their out-standing floating 
point performance. HP's commitment to compatibility and investment 
protection means that users can run existing application binaries on 
the new PA-8000 processor and be assured of a smooth migration to future 
technologies.

The new PA-8000 C-Class Models C160
and C180-XP are designed for future
expandability to protect customer
investment. New features include:

* PA-8000 processor - 64-bit PA 2.0
architecture combines high clock
speed, advanced four-way superscalar
design, and full binary compatibility
with existing PA-RISC binaries.

* Graphics Superiority - The new HP
VISUALIZE-48XP graphics make the
Model C180-XP the desktop 3D graphics
performance leader.

* The Model C160 supports all previous
HP VISUALIZE graphics offerings, comes
standard with HP VISUALIZE-EG and
adds support for HP VISUALIZE-IVX.

* Memory Capacity - Four new memory
slots bring total to 12, with capacity for
32-768MB. Memory expansion to 1.5GB
will be possible with forthcoming 256MB
memory module (available late 1996).

* High-speed Bus - Bandwidth
between memory and CPU improves
performance in a wide range of
applications.

* Expanded I/O - The new C-Class
now provides 3.3V PCI slots. In addition,
the HP VISUALIZE-EG base 2D
graphics subsystem is integrated on
the CPU board, freeing up an I/O slot
to make all four available.

* Larger Caches - Large off-chip
caches use a fully pipelined, low-latency
design addressed by a 128-bit
high-performance interface bus.
The C-Class workstation modular
design provides for simple installation,
flexibility of use, and fast, easy
servicing. This is accomplished
through design features such as:

* Built-in expandability

* Plug-in memory modules

* Board-to-board connections reducing
the need for internal cables.

The C-Class family, with its attractive
new desktop package delivers true
application performance in the class
of a personal supercomputer at a
workstation price.
