Don't underestimate that Alpha. As much of a fan as I am of the PowerPC line,
that Alpha kicks some royal butt.
The 620 should be introduced in the next two weeks, so we'll get some data
soon. It should compete very well against the Alpha but may not be quite as
fast (might be, I don't really know).
Where the PowerPC620 will do much better is that the PowerPC line of machines
from low end to high end will outsell Alphas 1000 to 1 (Because of Apple).
This means that there will be much more commerical grade software available for
the airy high end machines that normally don't get much.
i.e. What good is a zillion MIP machine if it has no software?
