Cringe - Re: "Hmm, these Xeons w/on-chip L2 cache are probably going to much cheaper to make than current off-chip L2 cache versions. And since it is coming out in January, Intel will be able to lower Cumine prices faster and still be able to make the money they are used to. This is probably the reason Intel will drop prices on Cumine a lot mid-in January, not solely because there will be more processors available like I previously thought.
Xeon has been and will probably continue to be Intel's quarter saver. "

You have just described ONE of the reasons that Intel is a much smarter company than AMD.
