DEC 公司将正式宣布推出其最新的 Alpha 处理器21264。将于下一季度上市的21264,最初的时钟频率为600MHz,之后还将推出时钟频率为700MHz 的版本。有消息称1999年称交付1GHz 的21264处理器,采用0.18微米制造工艺。到时候,Digital 还将推出21264的一个低成本版本,低成本芯片将用干价格在2500美元左右的系统。尽管至少还要6个月才能正式面市,21264已经在许多技术期刊上赢得了一片喝彩。这款极其复杂的处理器采用了先进的分支预测和数据通路设计,最多可同时执行80条指令,两倍于任何 Intel
DEC will officially announce the launch of its latest Alpha processor 21264. 21264 will be available in the next quarter, the initial clock frequency of 600MHz, followed by the introduction of the clock frequency of 700MHz version. It is said that in 1999 called the delivery of 1GHz 21264 processor, 0.18 micron manufacturing process. By that time, Digital will also release a low-cost version of the 21264, which will cost $ 2,500 or so on a low-cost chip. Although it takes at least 6 months to get it officially available, 21264 has earned a lot of acclaim in many technical journals. This extremely sophisticated processor uses advanced branch prediction and data path design, executing up to 80 instructions at the same time, twice as long as any Intel
