Scumbria - Re: "It shows that at 400 MHz Xeon at $2000,
runs a full 20% faster than a $100 300 MHz Celeron. 20% performance gain at only 2000% the price!!!! It just goes to show how ignorant corporate PC buyers are..."

I truly overestimated you, Scumbria. I thought you had at least above average intelligence !

First, a 400 MHz Xeon costs about $854 - with 512K L2 cache - NOT $2000!

Second, corporate buyers don't buy a Xeon for PCs ! The Xeon is targeted at workstations and servers where its SMP CAPABILITY - not showcased by Anand's simple Winstone tests - put Intel's XEON in a Price/Performance class unequaled by any competitor.

Your dump on the Xeon shows your state of denial or inability to properly analyze CPUs, performance, applications and intended use.
