Tenchusatsu:

<<Weren't the "Golden DEC Boys" in charge when the Alpha 21264 slipped by a year and missed its initial performance goals of 40 SpecInt and 60 SpecFP?>>

True. Nevertheless the Alpha 21264 is the fastest there is. It is a quantum leap over what Intel boys can design. It commands the highest MHz and highest FPU benchmark. Alpha implements some of the most advanced chip architecture feature that Intel had to copy.
