Meet the Man Behind the Manhattan Project II, the K8: Jim Keller of DEC was one of the major contributors in the design of Alpha 21264. mdronline.com@10924178zfljrx/mpr/editorials/edit12_14.html "For example, over the past few years, the Alpha team has been hurt by the loss of key members, including Dirk Meyer, now chief architect of AMD's K7 (see MPR 10/26/98, p. 1); Jim Keller, now heading AMD's K8 design; and Dan Leibholz, now one of two lead architects for Sun's UltraSparc-5. Dick Sites, the co-inventor of Alpha, who had assisted the CPU design team from his post at Digital's Western Research Lab, also left the company during this period." --------------------------------------------------------------------- With the pool of talents of designers such as Greg Favor (K6), Dirk Meyer (K7), and Jim Keller (K8) under the leadership of Atiq Rajaz, AMD is positioned to be a CHIP DESIGN POWERHOUSE. In addition AMD will have access to MOT latest technology in copper and SOI. So watch out Intel. Maxwell
