In the circumstances your opening salvo looks more and more like folly

That's only because you carefully snipped out the drivel of yours to which I was specifically responding.

So let's refresh your memory: it read

"Exactly how much quicker do you think the EV8 would have been than the current Alpha processor ? 1.5x 2x perhaps."

So when I went on to demonstrate that EV8 would not only have been over 2x 'quicker' than the current EV7 running a single thread but would have been over 5x 'quicker' than the current EV7 running multiple threads in a typical server workload, it was not exactly 'folly and bravado' but more like a successful refutation of your blatantly incompetent statement (quoted again above for your edification).

While I was sincere in welcoming you back, your persistence in trying to justify some of your wilder fantasies was *not* part of what I missed while you were gone. So if you're inclined to babble on further about this, you can do so on your own.
