Excellent article.
Was working for DEC in 1995 ~ 1996.
However, just my personal thoughts... DEC Alpha didn't really go away.
We still see AMD chip with a EV6 bus interface. The new Intel hyper threading
seems to be very familar to the old roadmap of EV7, EV8, EV9, Simultaneous
Multithreading feature.
