The Register is reporting that the Tulsa core Xeon isn't getting much attention because it is based on the much criticized Netburst architecture.
The Register
Tulsa is a dual-core netburst chip with a gargantuan 16MB shared L3 cache. Each core has its own 1MB L2 and runs at 3.4 GHz. Total number of transistors is I believe somewhere around 1.3 Billion, and TDP runs as high as 150 Watts.
I think it would be hilarious if Intel released a verson of this chip in LGA775 format and called it the Pentium Final Edition. It would be the biggest, baddest, hottest running chip ever, and the last Pentium off Intel's fab lines.
Realistically though, I don't think Intel would waste the money to qualify this chip for use in desktop platforms.
