Is Alpha coming out with any new HS anytime soon for the socket A platform?

I doubt it. They just came out with a socket 754/939/940 one

Socket A? Don't see why they'd need to - the 6035 and 8045 are pretty good heatsinks. There won't be any more new CPU's coming out for socket A, and the 8045 can handle any of the existing socket A CPUs. I see no real need to invest more R&D money on developing more products for a stable platform that's going to be phased out in the next few years.
