The IPX has a 40 MHz sun-4c CPU (rated at 28 SunMIP's), the Classic (aka
LC) has a 50 MHz sun-4m CPU (rated at 59 SunMIP's).

The IPX has an on-board cg6 (aka gx) vector-accelerated 8-bit colour
framebuffer, while the Classic has a cg3 non-accelerated colour
framebuffer. 

They are the major differences.

Regards,

Craig.
