Ouch @Penryn pricing

[scorp888]

Of more interest, is perhaps looking at real world pricing.

Dell is SHIPPING penryn as we speak (well I type you read..)


Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7110M, 2.6GHz, 4MB L3 Cache, 800Mhz FSB [Included in Price]


Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7130M, 3.2GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 800Mhz FSB [add £360.00 or £18/month1]


Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7120M, 3.0GHz, 4MB L3 Cache, 800Mhz FSB [add £150.00 or £8/month1]


Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7140M, 3.4GHz, 16MB L3 Cache, 800Mhz FSB [add £740.00 or £37/month1]

So upgrade on your £2,964.00 server, to a 3.4 Ghz penryn and add £740 (or nearly $1600 US!

So a Mac Pro with 2 of these is at least £1500 plus the ram and gubbins..

$6000 or £3000 Mac pros?

Those aren't Penryn. The 7100 line are tulsa chips (7000 are server level, 5000 is workstation level). The penryn based xeons people here are looking forward to (harpertown) are the 5400 series.

cheers.

Ah, I was going off the intel site, which has them as 7000 Series

http://www.intel.com/cd/products/services/emea/eng/processors/xeon7000/343715.htm

But it's difficult to tell, as none of them are marked Penryn..or to be delivered to apple before end of November...

If you go to the intel web site, you would want to look at workstation chips, not server chips (7xxx is server, not workstation). And the 7100 series are not the current generation.

cheers.
