I wouldn't complain if they did :-)  It's a better architecture.  All
they'd need to do is wave their magic marketing want to turn "IA-64" into
being an acronym of sorts for "Intel Alpha-64."

How does AlphaProcessor, Inc fit into all of this, or I guess I should say
API NetWorks, Inc?  It looks like they've moved into the market for high
speed bus I/O.  Their site mentions that they've co-developed with AMD a
technology known as HyperTransport.  How does the Intel acquisition of
Alpha affect AMD's role with HyperTransport, or does it?
