Four gold-coloured 300 MHz Alpha 21164 microprocessors on a Cray T3E-600 processor boardDEC Alpha 21164 (EV5) die shot
The Alpha 21164, also known by its code name, EV5, is a microprocessor developed and fabricated by Digital Equipment Corporation that implemented the Alpha instruction set architecture (ISA). It was introduced in January 1995, succeeding the Alpha 21064A as Digital's flagship microprocessor. It was succeeded by the Alpha 21264 in 1998.
