First, I assume your mean Cray Research, Inc.

Second, CRI has announced a three-phase strategy for a scalable parallel
system.  The third phase, as I understand it, would result in a machine
with a peak of 3 teraflops, not 300.

Third, CRI is using Alpha for the first phase, but it is not committed
to using Alpha for either the second or third.

(I know this didn't answer your 1000 teraflops question...)
