A lot of ex-Alpha engineers went to PA-Semi which Apple then acquired. Those people are responsible for the epic custom Apple ARM CPUs.

- chasil 3y agoLike I said, DEC also did StrongARM, which probably gave designers in many areas a new perspective.
- deaddodo 3y agoA lot of the Alpha engineers (including Keller) went to AMD and made the Athlon. The Athlon (K7/K8, specifically) was/is considered the spiritual successor to the 21264, by many. But yeah, many ended up looping around to PA Semi (again, including Keller).
