Series 700 Model 712 Workstations
The HP 9000 Model 712 was the latest member to the
Series 700 family. It introduced the next generation PA
7100 family of CPU chips providing a higher level of
integration at a substantially lower cost. What this meant
to the customer was outstanding performance at new low
prices. The addition of Model 712 workstations to the
product line allowed HP to offer a universal client with
future-proofing capability. Bi-endian design in the PA-RISC
7100LC processor provided porting capability to virtually
any operating system. Customers had flexibility in
converting if system strategy shifts. The product family
was made up of two models: the 712/60 and the 712/80. The
numbers after the slashes indicated the clock speed.
The HP 9000 Model 712/60 and 712/80 workstations delivered
outstanding computation, graphics, and networking
performance at a very low cost. They were the workstations
of choice for users of Enterprise Desktop applications that
require fast processor and X window system performance.
They also provided the solution for those seeking a
workstation with outstanding graphics capabilities and
superior integer performance for technical applications.
Models 712/60 and 712/80 were designed with ease of
installation, expansion and serviceability in mind.
