According to CNET News, the Alpha chip will be completely phased out by 2004. Although the Alpha chip was once considered an example of state-of-the-art technology, its life cycle is near completion. Compaq decided it was too costly to develop future Alpha processor designs and also thought the chip was “running out of steam.” Today, Alpha replacement parts are increasingly difficult to find, which makes repairs slow and extremely complicated. In the near future, it will be impossible to repair Alpha CPUs.

Hybinette is pleased to announce the Alpha Upgrade program. Offered by Hybinette, it allows our customers to upgrade their Alpha CPU modules to dual Gigahertz processors at a discounted rate.
