Goutama,

<Price lists seen by The Register show that there is not a great deal of price difference between a Coppermine Xeon and a Coppermine Pentium III. >

<Hmm... if true; is Intel going for some kind of strange segmentation/differentiation, or is it to create customer confusion? >

Not necessarily - the price list, if true, is comparing Cumine-256 with Cascades-512. The larger cache versions will probably be significantly higher.

Given that the differentiation between half-speed/full-speed will disappear with built-in cache, I was suspecting something like this will happen for the price delta. But, I gotto admit, this delta is smaller than I expected. Competition effects on pricing I guess.
