The Alpha processor was the first microprocessor from another company to be used in a Cray super computer:

As I explained in my video, Alpha’s contribution to the World, was a very fast, manually designed chip, which clocked at much higher frequency’s than the competition at the time.

It wasn’t superior due to it’s architecture, but due to it’s implementation.

People collect them for the reasons stated above.

The Alpha is simply one of the many building blocks that got us to where we are today.
