Pravin, <Also, too bad for Intel that with the release of the CuMine, the $3500 and $1900 Zeons with 2 MB and 1 MB of cache are gone -- to be replaced with $750 Cumines>

Huh? There are still a lot of 1MB and 2MB Xeons being sold. Of course, they're the 0.25u version (Tanner), but what else is going to go with Compaq's 8-way Profusion servers?

<CuMine power consumption is very impressive. Too bad Merced's won't be.>

At least Merced's packaging is rather compact, smaller than even a Slot 1 package, and certainly much smaller than that Slot 2 behemoth.

Pravin - RE: "With 266 VC DDR SDRAM the margin will widen."

I see people talking about that RAM, but does anyone make it?

"as IBM points out, anyone who buys a CuMine based Zeon is an idiot"

Where did you read that?!
