Elmer - RE: ". Soon there will be larger on die L2 versions and then Xeons will once again make sense." Would you happen to know or be able to estimate how much of a performance jump 1 and 2MB Cascades will get over Cumine? I would guess the difference is going to be greater than the difference between the Katmai and Xeon with off-chip cache.

Elmer, Re:"Right now the 733MHz Xeon die is the same die as the CuMine. This makes it pretty hard to make a compelling argument for the Xeon even though there are some other differences like the in order queue depth which tracks the outstanding transactions. Soon there will be larger on die L2 versions and then Xeons will once again make sense." Sure, Elmer sure. But it must be pretty embarrasing for them to release the Xeon and the OEMS won't even bother to introduce the product. BTW, when are the super XEONS with the HUGE on chip cache due. Seems like another complete and utter cockup by Intel's management folks. Perhaps they should learn some humility and ACTUALLY listen to their customers for a change when they are planning products and options such as DRAM support etc. regards, Kash
