Intergraph Corp, which claims to have the largest stand at UniForum this year, is introducing a new workstation based on an enhanced version of the C300 Clipper chip, rated at 20 MIPS. Intergraph, which announced its first C300-based workstation the 10 MIPS 3070 – back in October, says the new performance is the result of adding large external caching to the chip. The company is showing workstation and server configurations: at the beginning of year it announced that it would sell hardware unbundled from its CAE/CAD software for the first time, and is now becoming increasingly interested in the general commercial computer markets. Software announcements include Relational Integrated Services, a layer between applications and database on the network designed to facilitate transparent distributed databases across the net.
