Far more if you don't mind message-passing as in >the Cray T3E. There are already 64 CPU SMP Alpha machines in beta today. They are made by Compaq. Two years from now, when the 21464 chip comes out, I predict that such a machine could be world champion, if that was their desire. It could do Deep Blue numbers in software! Compaq makes some of the best hardware on earth. Too bad it doesn't get the market share it deserves. And if IBM got interested enough, they could surely make things interesting again at any time.
