Paul, If you order 1000 of them If they manufacture 3 chips a day, how long will it take to get 1000 of them? Scumbria

Re: "CPU daughter cards with the same configuration are $2,643 and $3,050, respectively." I guess these are the prices we should be looking at, given that the PIII, when eventually stuck in Xeon-configuration, will require a motherboard purchase as well. So, Paul, how much will the 500 MHz Xeon with SSE and two or four MB of cache, respectively, cost us? If the 500 MHz PIII with 512k of 1/2 speed cache costs about $850, it doesn't look good for Intel. Kevin

Chimp, <a 500 MHz Alpha (Same as Pentium III !)> Comparing integer performance of a 500MHz A-264 (SPECint95=27.7) with 18.9 for a X2-450, you would need to pump your Xeon to 730MHz to get the same performance as A264 at 500. Speaking of floating performance, the current Xeons (SPECfp95=14.5@450) would get into A264 area of 58 only if Xeons could run at about 10GHz. So, is the 500-Alpha "same as Pentium III", as you chimping it out? How much is a 10-GHz Xeon today, Paul? Please try to think before you post and make such a fool of yourself.
