GD, I like DecTech talk but don't know some of what you are implying with respect to the aforementioned CPU.

How will that(ints and fps) mean to tpc #s? What kind of memory and bus speeds will have to be available to support that monster? Is this thing going to be loafing while waiting for memory to cycle. What will the real results mean to a RDBMS server? What might this compare to in the mainframe (IBM, UIS, ...) area. Sounds like a great cruncher, but how much of a Enterprise Server? What will it mean to CPQ in two years when it is no longer vapor.
