Intel unveiled three performance Xeon MPs, ranging in frequency from 2.83GHz to 3.33GHz and 4MB to 8MB of Level 3 cache. Two "value" processors offer 3.16GHz and 3.66GHz speeds and 1MB of Level 2 cache.
The larger cache in the performance SKUs will make these transaction processing and data warehousing workhorses.
The price as low as $722 (qty 1,000) makes the Cranford value chips attractive for a new generation of low-cost 4-way servers. Dell immediately jumped in with its offering. These will sell by the boxcar for web processing and Tier 1 apps.
