Describe the Pentium II Xeon?
Answer:
On July 26th 1998 Intel will introduce a new Pentium II edition. The processor is named
Pentium II Xeon.
It will require a new version of Slot One (Slot Two). The module will have the same dimensions
as the current Pentium II, but there are a few important innovations and improvements:
* The CPU will mounted in a new Slot Two with three layers of edge connectors.
100 MHZ system bus with clock doubling 4.0 and 4.5 (meaning 400/450 MHZ clock
speed internally).
* New type L2 cache: CSRAM, which can run at full CPU speed.
*512, 1,024, or 2,048 KB L2 RAM.
* Up to 4 GB RAM can be in cache.
The Xeon chip is for high performance servers. The first topmodel will hold 2 MB L2 cache on
the cartridge, running at full 450 MHZ. This chip will cost $4,500!
