Alpha EV8

["J.Moores" <jm40@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone noticed that the next generation of Alpha will support
'multi-threading'? (http://www.theregister.co.uk) Together with packet
based RAMBUS RAM, perhaps we will get a ParaPC of sorts after all...  I
still don't understand why Intel took the approach that it has in hiding
memory latency in the Merced, when hardware context switching provides a
much more scalable alternative.

Ho hum.
