Re: Instead they appear to have taken the current 9100 series desktop and made it a 'Lexus' model

More of a high end Hyundai with a lot of extra chrome than a Lexus.

It's interesting to compare the fastest upcoming Dell's that use 65nm dual core Pentium / Xeon parts to HP's "old" 90nm Athlon 64 / Opteron systems.

The HP's are about 27% faster while using less power.

HP's are about 30% faster. HPs make Dells look like a Celeron only computer company. Sort of like eMachines in the early days.

But eMachines ended up doing pretty well.

Still, it's better than the existing 90nm Dell's that let HP be more than 50% faster....
