Alpha 21464 was an ambitious Alpha microarchitecture designed by Compaq as a successor to the Alpha 21364 set to be introduced in 2004. The project was cancelled in June 2001 when Compaq announced their commitment to Intel's Itanium.

Area comparison[edit]
In a talk by Joel Emer, it was stated that, at ISO process, the 21464 is roughly 4.5 times larger than the 21264 and is over 6 times larger than the original 21064.
Die[edit]
- 1.2 GHz - 2 GHz @ ~1.2 V
- 0.13 µm process
- ~250,000,000 transistors
- ~420 mm² die size
- PGA-??? package
- ~1100 signal pins
Floorplan was done but the design never made it to fabrication.
