Re: "I just read in "Client Server News" Oct 19-23 a comparison of HPs new PA RISC with Alpha and XEON:

Alpha 600 Mhz model:21264 SPECint 32 SPECfp 50
HP 330 Mhz model:8500 SPECint 30 SPECfp 50 140Mln Transistors
HP 440 Mhz model:8500 SPECint 32 SPECfp 52 140Mln Transistors
Intel 450 Mhz model:XEON SPECint 18 SPECfp 13

The HP 8500 has 1.5 MegaByte of on-chip L1 Cache. "

Awesome!! I wish you'd post the link.

BTW, do you know who fabs the HP processor?
