No - it's the same core chipset (21172) - just another revision.
However EB164 and PC164 have the same core chipset too.
Core chipsets of that family are in most alphas.
Likely that some AS1000A models have 21171 chipset as the 21172 basicly
is an 21171 with Byte Word extensions and documents point to AS1000A
as beeing an EV5 system, but Pouls probe as 21172.

Possible, but then PHK's problem has a different cause, since he traps
into SRM.
