Xeon CPU?

I'll wait the answer from Intel, and then we will all see. :)

I think Mitho is going by what AMD has done with their server chips. The s939 Opterons all had the extra cache. It just seems to be a common trend with desktop socket server chips.

They were more expensive too. =S
I'll be checking my e-mails every few now and then to see what they come up with.

Intel is taking a while to answer to my e-mail, I guess i'll have to call them tomorrow.
If anyone is in the mood, 800-538-3373.

It will probrably attract people who are on a budget and want a good cpu.

They are exactly the same. Except the Xeon packaging costs a little more.

e6300 = 3040 = 2MB
e6400 = 3050 = 2MB
e6600 = 3060 = 4MB
e6700 = 3070 = 4MB

The Xeons might be speed binned a little higher, but I don't think there are enough of them out there to determine that yet.

What information are you basing this off of? Everything we have been looking at is contradictory.

And Intel still didn't answer.

intel sspec pages.

Every link I've seen in this thread backs up what I posted, unless I'm missing something...

Maybe some of the links have been changed since the thread was started.
