Ted,

Pravin, what do you think accounts for the large pricing range for the server chips....2k to 6k?

As mentioned, speed and cache variations. Look at the old Xeons: Roughly $1000 for one with 512 KB, $2000 for 1 MB, and $3000 for 2 MB of L2 cache. If Itanium performance is leading edge in server apps, Intel can charge whatever they want for them (but the apps must be there).

Pravin.
