Pal, since you barely can comprehend technical
implication of terms mentioned in the blurb,
you see only "crown" and "flagship". Understandable.
I would advice you, Pal, do not get over-exited,
especially after taking Viagra
(as you touched the subject earlier, see
Message 6981431 ).

BTW, this might sound interesting:
"with the implementation of a full-speed L2 cache
running at up to 450MHz."
^^^^^
What does it mean "up to"? Looks like
the world was fooled again with "full-speed"
Xeon L2 cache, and in reality it is not,
only sometimes "up to full"?

You know Pal, marketing people usually must
be legally accurate in their public
statements, so there must be something
behind the phrase "up to".

I thank you very much for bringing
this point to SI public :)
