Tench, <But EV7 is important in that it may be Alpha's only real chance against Itanium or McKinley. With Xeon leading most of the TPC-C charts and Itanium set to push the records even further, EV6 will have a hard time keeping up. A timely release of EV7 is key to countering this sort of competition, just like a timely release of Northwood is key to Intel countering the competition from AMD's Athlon.> No, EV7 is just a placeholder until EV8.
