EV7 hoves into view

Pictures soon....

By Mike Magee: Thursday 06 December 2001, 15:56

THE INQUIRER is pleased to report the first sighting of an Alpha EV7 microprocessor.

Recently-plucked from the next-generation AlphaServer GS-Series system in which it was running, the still-warm Alpha 21364C chip made its way across the pond earlier this week.

We didn't have our digicamera at the ready but we poked away at the processor, and were rather impressed by the 1GHz+ speed it's supposed to sport.

But pictures will be arriving tout suite.

The EV7 Pass Zero part will be among the items displayed at the next Dallas Fort Worth Computer Users Group meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday evening December 11, 2001 at 6:00 PM in the Compaq office in Dallas, TX. For more information visit DFWCUG.

The slide below is from one of those shown by Peter Bannon's microprocessor forum presentation a few weeks back.

The Q engineers have done a great job managing to make Rambus work with this server baby, sources close to the action tell the INQwell.

An engineer told the INQUIRER today: "Even Rambus has had trouble cracking the enterprise server market, attesting to the more rigorous nature of the engineering in this market.

"Note that only the Compaq Alpha group was able to get Rambus to work in enterprise server class systems. A tribute to the engineering skill in this organisation and the difficulty of doing the job right."

Look at the heat sink! µ
