Reason why these companies are not buying the Xeon - because the newest coppermines are so fast that there is no justification for the cost of the Xeons. But Dell did say that when coppermine technology is introduced into the Xeon's (specifically on-chip cache), they will buy the Xeon's because the performance differential will reappear.

The CNet article is not negative; you have been very selective in extracting info from the report.

You should have included this quote:

'Next year, the company will release Xeons with integrated 1MB and 2MB secondary caches, several sources said, which will again create a performance gap. Dell at that time will adopt higher performing Xeons, the Dell spokesperson said.'
