pheliman: XEON chips are P3s with extra cache. The P4 is a new micro-architecture. Pentium 3 Xeon chips are P3 chips with extra cache. XEON 1.5 through 1.7 GHz chips are P4 chips with extra cache. Please read this link and get back to me if you still insist that it is a P3. intel.com; You must be one of the bashers. It may be best sign that worst for RMBS stock price is over. I am not saying go out and buy it today but it appears that there are more than 1 poster on this thread that really wish the stock price would go to zero. I believe they have more than carl and scumbria desire for sweet dreams of vindication but real money on the line. john

This is confusing. The P4 Xeon announced yesterday seems to be just like the P4 cache-wise. It's got 180 extra pins and 2-way SMP capabilities, but seems functionally the same otherwise. There are some Piii Xeons that are just like Piii's, with 256k cache, and some that have more cache; the 256k cache Piii Xeons are pretty much the same price as equivalent Piii's , while the extra-cache versions are much more expensive. Personally, given the rather marginal performance advantage of the P4-Xeon over the Piii in many things, the thermal management questions with the P4, and the Rambus requirement for P4-Xeon I'm sort of expecting Intel to do a Xeon-Tualatin to maintain its market share. Who knows, though.
