He was one of the people responsible for the Alpha, AMD's K7 and Opteron, and most likely Apple's A7. Definitely worth looking at what the result of this will be.

I've long held the opinion that there is something wrong in the setup of the processor in the X1000 that's holding it back - some of the early (non Amiga) benchmarks were very good.
I recently read a theory that they are using the wrong compiler. This would explain a lot.
