Fastest Intel Processors

[Craig Tierney]

The 2.2 Ghz cpus have just been released.  This generation
of cpu is built at 0.13 microns and has twice as big of a 
L2 cache (512 KB).   These are the single processor versions.
The Xeon (smp) chips should follow shortly (I am guessing).  
Go look at the roadmaps at www.theregister.co.uk.  They tend to
be accurate.

I have not heard that there is a problem with the 2.0 Ghz.  Is
it a problem with RedHat or the Linux kernel specifically?  We
had no problems with the 1.7 Ghz Xeon chips, but they are not the
2.0 Ghz that you are talking about.
