An amusing quote from a DEC/Compaq guy: extremetech.com SAN JOSE--Compaq Computer Corp. attempted to convince Tuesday's attendees of the Microprocessor Forum to be excited about a product facing a death knell. Compaq, Houston, will continue to manufacture the 64-bit Alpha processor well into 2004. Still, with Intel Corp.'s acquisition of the technology, Compaq has publicly committed to converting over to Intel's Itanium architecture. Tuesday, Peter Bannon, a principal manager of the technical staff at Compaq, unveiled a roadmap for the technology detailed in the chart below as well as details of the Alpha EV7. The EV7 is targeted at 1.2-Ghz when it is scheduled to debut sometime in the third quarter of 2002. The core features 1.75 Mbytes of 7-way set-associative level 2 cache with error-correcting code, for a total of 20-Gbytes/s bandwidth. The core also integrates a pair of RDRAM memory controllers that transfer 800 Mbits/s. "I have to give Rambus credit," Bannon said. "They showed us a paper spec 5 years ago and we bet the farm on it."
