Mula - Re: "My guess will be cpq will hold on and push the alpha design for a few more years to prove to their stock holders that they made a good decision in paying all that money for the DEC purchase (alpha rights)." Engel - Re: "This is probably correct. Compaq may also "convince" Samsung/API to buy the Alpha architecture for some nominal amount, and exit gracefully." Man - you two are really clueless. The current Alpha chip in the new Wildfire system is still in .25um ground rules, built with an apparent mediocre .25um process. That said, they still are the fastest Unix servers out there. The same .25um design with an aggressive .18um process runs well over 1GHz. With a .18um design and process, it could easily reach 1.5GHz. Given that and the tremendous memory bandwidth, Wildfire will blow Itanium away. (IF) Compaq (from now) can get on an aggressive schedule, McKinley will be toast before it ever appears. And I saw where they intend to now port Win2000 to Alpha. THE WATSONYOUTH
