Amazing Quad Core Xeon E5405 2.xx GHz 80W 12MB for just $210 .
320$ for a 2.33ghz 50W quad? Give me a 3000 series or desktop!
Harpertown, which will succeed the current 65 nm Clovertown processors (Xeon 5300 series), will receive 5400 sequence number, with X, E, and L letters indicating performance, regular and low-power versions of the CPU.
"The mainstream lineup (80 watts) will reach from the E5405 with a clock speed in the low 2 GHz range up to the E5450 with 3.0 GHz. The X5460 will clock in at 3.16 GHz and will be rated at a thermal design power of 120 watts. Intel also plans to introduce two low-power versions, rated at 50 watts, with 2.33 and 2.66 GHz speeds (L5410 and L5430). All Harpertown processors will include a 12 MB L2 cache, up from 8 MB in Clovertown. The front side bus is expected to be a FSB1333 version across the board, while the slide published by VR-Zone still indicates that the E5405 could run at a slower clock speed.
The dual-core version of the CPU, code-named Wolfdale, apparently will be available with processor speeds of 1.86 GHz and 3.33 GHz (both rated at 65 watt TDP). There will also be a 3.16 GHz low-power version of the processor, running at 40 watts.
Harpertown and Wolfdale are expected to launch late in Q4 of this year."

I remember my when my voodoo 2 had 12mb, and I though that was too much :)
NEWSFLASH! GW Bush is POTUS! Oh wait, that was known... as was the above ;)
Yea that's hardly any news. :D
About 1-1½ year too late with the news :P
And we also got the prices :P
E5450 3.00 GHz 80W 12MB $851
E5440 2.83 GHz 80W 12MB $690
E5430 2.66 GHz 80W 12MB $455
E5420 2.50 GHz 80W 12MB $316
E5410 2.33 GHz 80W 12MB $256
E5405 2.xx GHz 80W 12MB $209
L5430 2.66 GHz 50W 12MB $519
L5410 2.33 GHz 50W 12MB $320
Hard decision... not. I'll take the 2.xxghz model!

2.xx will have merits....I think it's a 1066FSB part, which means a higher stock multi for a low price :)
E5440 2.83 GHz 80W 12MB $690
E5420 2.50 GHz 80W 12MB $316
Half-multipliers make me sad, just silly price points.
these penryn processors are suposed to be comming out on the 22nd of july right
Intel Rules
July 15 was supposed to be Penryn NDA break according to TGDaily but that turned out to be a rehash of the June 24th FSB1333 articles plus the QX6850.. And that June 24th date was in turn supposed to be on July 22nd along with the price cuts, and now July 22nd is Penryn leak day. Huh? BTW, I thunk I saw that 2.33GHz Yorky elsewhere. Could be the same person, I personally don't think so though..
