How about a 3.2GHz Xeon DP with 2MB of L3 Cache?
Posted by: Jim on: 02/18/2004 06:39 PM [ Print | 3 comment(s) ]
Augustus just reminded me on IRC about something I've known about for a couple of weeks but forgot to mention it until now. Intel will now be shipping 3.2GHz Xeon DPs with 2MB of L3 cache.
If you wander over here you'll notice that under the "Available Speeds" section they now list a 3.2GHz DP with 2MB of L3 cache.
With all the Nocona talk and musings about x86-64, this one slid in under the radar. I talked to Intel a couple of weeks ago and they assured me that I'll be receiving a pair of these for testing shortly after IDF. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up.
