The E2K is not in production; it's just a design on paper (well, on
disk I suppose) right now, and unless they get some outside funding
the designers will not be able to take it beyond that state. Granted,
it's a very compelling design, and there's no reason to think they
wouldn't be able to make it given the resources, but one thing they
don't say is how much it would cost...

The modern ones do, anyways. The older Alphas used .5 micron (or
larger?), and there are Alphas on the drawing boards that will target
a smaller process.
What does this have to do with Mersenne primes again?
