Editor Diefendorff said the Alpha architecture has always been know for speed, but has achieved very little market presence. Compaq is the only significant OEM to use Alpha chips in its servers, and Diefendorff predicted that even the Houston PC maker would switch to Intel chips once its 64-bit processors become available later this year. "I can't imagine that Compaq will continue to carry the [Alpha] architecture forward," he said. ------ hlpin... This made its rounds in Usenet in comp.arch... collectively we got a good laugh (those that understand Alpha somewhat). One poster mentioned that Keith bit real hard on Elberus ? (Russian Merced killer) and lost credibility with him a year ago... Essentially, as another points out this is editorial comment on his part and as Rude points out Tandem is one of several proof points that Alpha has a lot of mileage. My take on this? Keith is taking up where Linley Gwennap left off... chief Intel lapdog in charge of FUD and whatnot... if interested find the recent comp.arch thread Subject: FUD See ya, Rob
