I don't think there is any reality to the idea that CPQ wants X86 silicon on Alpha. AMD has proposed this several times. I think it is AMD 'leaking' this to build interest. It is a non-starter IMO. CPQ does not want to compete with Merced, they want to be the 64 bit leader no matter what the chip technology. What market would be interested in this product?
