<I too recall that it was about 40/60. So perhaps DEC issued revised estimates later. Or should we say that DEC built some new foils?> I don't know... I have heard this for a few years too. Never with a name attached to it. Perhaps a Digital "spokesperson" made those claims. Doesn't much matter now... if you look at the numbers (we see real numbers soon) they scale better than linear... (i.e. 667 MHz 21264a does better than "expected") How? This Hot Chips presentation will explain how: hotchips.org Hardware Support for Out of Order Instruction Profiling on Alpha 21264a, J. Anderson, L. Berc, J. Dean, S. Ghemawat, S. Leung, M. Litchenberg, M. Vandevoorde, G. Verns, C. Waldspurger, W. Weihl, J. White, Compaq Much improved scheduling... perhaps the folks in '98 were pointing to a day when 21264 gets better, not the "initial" 21264 that Keller spoke of at MPR forum October 1996. Rob
