Re: "Today you can buy an ES40 with 667 MHz Alphas that does:
83 - SpecFp95
40 - SpecInt95
2550 - MByte/Sec in McCalpin Stream
A glimpse of things to come when Alpha goes over a GHz
this summer."

The FP is quite impressive but you can buy a CuMine system today that outperforms it in SPECint95 based on baseline scores.

A glimpse of things to come when CuMine goes over a GHz
this month.

Rob - Re: "if you want performance
you will probably have to go with Alpha. Today you
can buy an ES40 with 667 MHz Alphas that does:"

Well, why does Compaq keep pumping out more and more 2, 4 and 8-way XEON systems while getting ready for Merced and McKinley systems with 32 to 256 CPUs?

By the way - please update us on some new Alpha Design wins - outside of Compaq.
