The Inquirer (hot off the presses): Intel to release 3GHz Xeon this quarter, releases Madison pricing Server Roadmappery Xeon price cuts on 23rd of Feb. Goodbye Granola Bay By Mike Magee: Tuesday 28 January 2003, 11:10 CHIPZILLA HAS SPED up its introduction of server microprocessors and will release a 3GHz Xeon with a 400MHz bus this quarter. And by the third quarter this year, Intel will release a Xeon with 1MB of integrated level three cache, according to roadmaps the INQ has seen. The company is also tweaking its multiprocessor Gallatin chips by releasing frequencies over 2.6GHz in the second quarter of this year, and claims it will release a 4MB integrated level three cache Xeon in the first half of next year. The "Nocona" 90 nanometer shrink will support a 666MHz front side bus when it's released next year, too, it has emerged. There's little change on the Itanium front. Madison is still slated for release in the second quarter of this year, along with Deerfield, but the Itanic roadmap next year looks suspiciously empty to us. As we've pointed out before, the "Granite Bay" chipset, the 7205, is not long for this world, because Intel is positioning the Canterwood 875P chipset at speeds of 3.20GHz for the second quarter of this year. When Springdale chipsets are released, a 2,06GHz Xeon will cost $690, but Intel has some price cuts ahead well before that. The 3.06GHz 533 Xeon will cost $722 when it is introduced on the 23rd of February, the 533MHz 2.8GHz Xeon will cost $455, the 2.66GHz $285, the 2.4GHz $209, and the 2GHz 533 FSB chipolata will cost $198. Hey – these Gallatins aren't cheap chips, are they? The 2GHz 2MB MP will cost $3,692 this quarter, the 1.9GHz 1MB $1,990, the 1.5GHz 1MB baby $1,175, while the 512K 1.5GHz and the 1.4GHz each with 512K aren't long for the road, Jack. Madison will cost a staggering $4,226 when it is released – that's the 6MB version. The 1.4GHz 4MB version will cost $2,250, and the 1.3GHz 3MB Madison will cost a very much less expensive $1,300. Intel says these prices are consistent with the 1GHz 3MB Itanium at $4,200, the 1GHz 1.5MB baby at $2,250 and the 900MHz Itanium II with 3MB of memory at $1,300. µ
