Elmer, Elmer, Elmer,

It (Alpha) may be the cleanest, but based on what is shipping today it is
only a couple of percent ahead of Intel's Xeon in integer
performance.

Unfortunately there is a dearth of benchmark data available, but here
are some projected benchmarks from:

microway.com

As you can see, the Alpha 21264 is expected to blow away any x86
implementation for integer or floating point. x86 is not even in the
same league.

System Speed SPECint95 SPECfp95
Microway Screamer 21264 700 MHz 40.0 60.0
Pentium II 333 MHz 12.8 9.25
