Intel fouls up again in the server market. You would think that the Xeon would be a (much) better Pentium 4, but it isn't.
The Pentium III Xeon 900MHz with 2MB of cache – the so called Cascades processor – easily thrashes a Pentium 4 in a four way configuration but Intel wants the manufacturers to go with the current Xeon.
Xeons with big caches – codenamed Gallatin – are not due to be released until the third or fourth quarter of this year, as exclusively revealed here.
