Probably why AMD is going to use Dec's Alpha 21264 CPU pinout for their K7
series CPUs.

Added to this, AMD is "rumoured" to be developing a combo motherboard to
support both K7 and Dec's 21264 CPU's. Plus that Samsung will also be
manufacturing the 21264. 

It could be an interesting time for Intel ;)
