Xeon 2.8GHZ w/2MB cache is amazingly cheap...

Doesn't anybody read the Anandtech front page anymore? 🙂

This is no different than the segmentation based on volume and MP capability performed by the rest of the industry. The Opteron 146 and 846 share the exact same die and clock speed. The latter supports 8-way MP and costs $3199, the former has MP fused off and costs $669.

That nice, but they sure charge alot for that validation.😀
It's all a matter of who you're selling to, rather than what you're selling.
When selling to you or me, Intel would be hard pressed to charge $2.500 for a CPU.
Well, for at least.
When selling to a fortune 500 company, charging $2.500 is no problem, as long as you can assure the company that it'll be working well.
Who f-cking cares $700+ bucks for a couple extra frames maybe 10 sec in photoshop, 15 sec in TMPGEnc. If you got over 700 beans burning a hole in your pocket buy a new video card,raid card, hard drives,speakers,case or a new monitor. By the way how high does this $700+ waste overclock? If it's a cheap xeon mp (ie not dullie crippled) then I will be the first in line but intel would never do that to all their enterprise customers. So don't get your boxers in a bunch.
You think 700$ for a CPU is expensive? Think about a 100K a year engineer! Getting a 100K a year engineer to do his work even 1-2% faster would be worth 700$. That's the logic behind such chips.
For the performance fanatic, though.... Computers are their hobby and they're willing to throw obscene amounts of money at it, just like cars.

Man are you really this stupid? The thread wasn't about desktop CPUs, it's about the price of the Xeon. And it's not a waste of money to the people who NEED to use it. When you're in an enterprise situation, even downtime of 1% can be costly. Can you imagine what would happen to the airports if they had their system failing 1% of the time? Or even 0.1% of the time?

You don't have a clue about IT or budgets. Think you just go to comp usa and pop in a couple of cpu's into your servers and the boss just says duh ok here's the cash?

LOLOL alright, it's pretty damn obvious you're clueless, so i'm out. LOL
I was being sarcastic about the price read between the lines. Only big budget IT depts have the cash for this cpu and you still have to convince the boss why you need this cpu. Most companies are laying off workers and you think they are going to buy new cpu's for their workstations/servers. Moralpanic if you know a company with money to waste then my resume is in the mail.
Last Iheard IT heads where creaming for the opteron. Why because it's cheaper. Most IT's are still running windows nt so don't tell me money is not a very big factor. How can I put it in terms you will understand IT heads are cheap running old hardware with little to no overhead and to few techs or getting raw just out of school IT personal. Then clipping them before they become permanent employee's. Just to save on benifits.
