Ali - Re: " Intel wants to charge $2,000 per 1MB of L2 cache on Xeons! With the whole server market of about 2M units/year, I do not think it would help their gross margins." It won't hurt! Do the math - that will be $4 BIllion in L2 cache Revenues/year! That happens to be 67% MORE than the entire AMD 1997 Revenue! Paul

RE: Celeron damages the value of higher "MHz." Think you're right, Ali. I think its time we have a "split" in the MHz market. Lets start rating computers by GHz, then it would be obvious that the difference between 0.30 GHz, 0.33 GHz and 0.35 GHz is miniscule performance-wise. Petz PS - Didn't the 6502 run at 1 MHz?

<To subsidize the vegs Intel wants to charge $2,000 per 1MB of L2 cache on Xeons! > It's even up to $4500 for the 2 Meg L2 version and well worth the price. That level of performance in a multiprocessor workstation or server environment carries that price tag. They wouldn't charge that much if they couldn't get it and the customers wouldn't pay it if they didn't realize it was worth the price. Intel will still come in as the most cost effective server, and the $profits$ will be very nice indeed. EP
