Here is some evidence that not everyone thinks the 800Mhz is easy at .18 micron for Xeon. From Client Server News: Initially only a 500MHz PIII Xeon, called internally Tanner, with 512KB L2 cache is available, at $931 in 1,000- piece quantities. Versions with 1MB and 2MB of cache are due out in Q3, at $1,980 and $3,692 respectively. The first 550MHz versions will start rolling out in mid-April. It's gonna take a 0.18-micron shrink, called Cascades, to get the clock speed on the widget any higher. It's doubtful the thing will pass 700MHz, prob-ably be lucky to get that high, maybe more like 667MHz. The first Cascades – for two-ways – should be out later this year, followed by the ones for four-ways and eight-ways with 1MB and 2MB of cache in the first half of next year. Next stop after that is the 1GHz 32-bit Forster which appears in late 2000, early 2001.
