Xeon for dual processing systems

Intel Corporation recently unveiled the Intel Xeon processor for two-way
workstation and server platforms at 2.80 gigahertz (GHz) and 2.60 GHz. The new
products feature 512 kilobyte (KB) of level two cache and is built on
0.13-micron process technology.

The Intel 860 chipset for dual processing Xeon processor-based workstations
is available for these systems. The chipset utilizes RDRAM and provides the
graphics support high performance workstations need, with a dedicated AGP 4X
port.

The Intel E7500 chipset is also available for dual-processing servers. The
Intel Xeon processor with 512 KB level two advanced transfer cache is priced at
$562 in 1,000-unit quantities for 2.80 GHz and $433 in 1,000-unit quantities for
2.60 GHz.

These chipsets will feature a 533 MHz system bus for even greater server and
workstation performance with dual channel DDR 266 memory.
