Alpha's Going Going Gone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-gently-into-that-dark-night dept.

WildCode writes "Get your Alphas now cause HP is releasing the last of the Alphas (the final one expected to be released in 2004), and there will be no more." I was already under the mistaken impression that Alpha was dead, so this story is rather bittersweet for me. Still, as far as architectures go, Alpha will probably be among my favorites. It was once vastly ahead of its time, if not severely cost-prohibitive.

  1. Maybe HP can afford some more jets! by DAldredge · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Now HP can afford to buy some more private jets for their execs to fly around in.

    70,000,000 USD for 2 GS5's. Shows what they REALLY care about.
