Dan3, RE: And I still haven't found what I was looking for - It is full speed cache, isn't it? Yes, developer.intel.com Pentium III Xeon processors are available in 512K, 1 MB, or 2 MB L2 cache options. The Pentium III Xeon processor improves upon the Pentium Pro processor by adding MMX[tm] technology for 3-D compute-intensive applications, and by utilizing the S.E.C. (Single Edge Contact) cartridge package technology first introduced on the Pentium II processor. Like the Pentium Pro processor, level 2 cache communication occurs at the full processor core speed. Does that do it for you?

From your link: intel.com Intel will initially offer a speed of 500 Megahertz (MHz) for its Pentium III Xeon family, available in 512 kilobyte (KB), 1 megabyte (MB) and 2 MB Level 2 (L2) cache versions for two-, four- and eight-way (and higher) servers and workstations. A 550 MHz processor with 512 KB L2 cache for two-way workstations and servers is expected to ship next month, with 550 MHz, 512 KB, 1 MB and 2 MB L2 cache options for four- and eight-way (and higher) servers expected to be available in the third quarter of 1999. And that press release was dated March 17, 1999. Seems like Xeon is being successfully executed according to the announced plan. By the way, all L2 caches in Xeon are full-speed. They're made from custom SRAM chips manufactured by Intel themselves, not commodity BSRAM chips that only run at half-speed. Tenchusatsu
