Introduction

+ The Alpha microprocessor, was originally developed by DEC, introduced + in 1992. At this time, Alpha was regarded as fastest CPU in the world. + Compaq, which bought DEC, announced that computers using Alpha would be phased out + by 2004 in favour of Intel's Itanium. Hewlett-Packard, new owner of + Compaq announced to support the Alpha series for a few more years but this will be the end of the lifetime. + Intels IA-64 will be the replacement of this series. + + Alpha is a Tier +1 architecture - fully supported by FreeBSD. + +
