Compaq's Wildfire shows scale of ambitions
Eckhard Pfeiffer's company goes Alpha mad
Posted in On-Prem, 21st March 1999 17:59 GMT
It seems repetitive to go on about the argument Compaq CEO Eckhard Pfeiffer had with senior Intel VP Hans Geyer all those years ago, as exclusively reported here. So instead here comes a "Four Vultures" production, again in PDF mode, which shows the extent of Pfeiffer's ambitions. This is small enough for us to have PDF'd and kept the colours. But it's still half a megabyte... The SlideWare is amazing if it comes to pass. The last two slides, in particular, show that Compaq's flame is burning for the Alpha chip, big time. Thanks again to the mole deep inside Texas who sent us the information and who we won't meet at Compaq Innovate... ®
