Re: Xeon based servers were cut less than 20%, but the high end Xeon servers had their price cut more than 40%. It's as though they were expecting new competition in the X86 server chip market... Who could possibly be about to announce such a chip? Fortunately for Intel, they have several warehouses full of large cache Xeons (running faster than 700MHZ) that they've been not selling because Compaq asked them to. I wonder when Compaq will let Intel start selling all those fast, large cache Xeons. Intel must be getting really antsy by now what with SUN shipping the USIII and "the mystery company" about to introduce new chips. :-) Dan PS - Sure I was being sarcastic, but Intel was quite adamant that it could produce faster Xeons, so maybe they are about to release some - they claimed that such chips were ready to go some time back. If Intel is about to release say, 866MHZ and 933MHZ large cache Xeons to go up against the 900MHZ USIII, then the existing systems would have to be priced quite a bit lower or they'd never sell. OTOH, Intel also claimed it could produce 1.13GHZ PIIIs, and we all know what happened with those!
