Multiprocessor configurations are available.  The 4000-600 AXP takes up to
two processors; the 7000/1000-600 AXP take up to six processors.  Both
SPECthruput and SPECrate performance data has been published; contact your
local DEC sales office for a more detailed performance brief, if required.

As has been mentioned before, there are other differences than performance,
such as maximum memory, available I/O bandwidth, expandability, and so on.
