Ten,

Your comparison is invalid. No one buys Xeon or Pentium III systems if they care about price/performance ratios. They buy them if they care about pure performance.

Intel is advertising that Xeon/SSE will enhance graphics performance. That is true for a cheap graphics card. You are saying that nobody will put a cheap graphics card on a Xeon workstation. This renders Intel's claims rather meaningless.

I'm saying that you can get almost as good workstation performance from a Celeron, as you can from a Xeon.
