Well, good news. Does this mean I can finally buy a system with a 21364? So far, all that Compaq is willing to deliver is still based on the 21264. At least four months ago that was the music. The 21464 sounds like Intel's IA-64 - > it will take a very long time until it hits the market. It is also a surprise to me that Compaq continues to push this technology after loosing most of its top chip designers to AMD. The 21264 was the last design Digital's excellent group developed. Why does the 21464 chip design try to execute up to eight instructions simultaneously. Don't they know that the more instructions are executed simultaneously the less they can clock their CPU? See Pentium IV vs. Pentium III as an example. - Are they using high-T(c)'s for it? I don't think so.
