<How about 80 SpecFP95 ?>

Paul,

Are you projecting this number late next year for Merced or McKinley? At what MHz?

Okay... so that makes it competitive with an UltraSparc III.
Late next year Alpha will be at 120 fp.. so 80 is a nice number
but certainly not "very competitive" with Alpha UNLESS you do the
neat old marketing trick of grabbing something a year old and
comparing yourself to that.
