This time PC manufacturers are upset because Pentium 4 Xeons in a four way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) configuration are thoroughly thrashed by a chip that Intel wants to consign to the microprocessor gulag. The Pentium III Xeon 900MHz with 2MB of cache – the so called Cascades processor – easily thrashes a Pentium 4 in a four way configuration but Intel wants the manufacturers to go with the current [P4] Xeon.
