    Jarred, thanks for explaining my query in #1!

    Yeah, what Kristopher said. Intel does not use the same naming mechanisms in the servers/workstation lineup as they use in the mobile/desktop segment. At least, not yet. They're sticking with clockspeeds, letters and cache sizes for now. I prefer this mechanism of "naming" chips anyway.

    Something I didn't mention in the article, notice how there are actually multiple chips with the same processor number? The Celeron D and Celeron M both have chips that use the same model number. 330, 340, and 350 for sure, although there may be others. I'm just waiting for the Model number 386 and 586 chips to show up on their roadmap! :-D

    ViRGE: I think you answered your own question, they are just E-0 Pentium 4s with EM64T. the Pentium 4 "J" series processors are following the Model number naming convention, the "F" series are following the GHz naming convention.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all EM64T enabled Pentium 4F's using the E-0 core? And if so, why aren't they being called the P4J instead?

    The "F" suffix indicates activated support for EM64T. There are Xeons available without that support as well, and they have the "E" suffix, but they have all been shipping for a while now, so they aren't in the charts. Also, all steppings "E-0 and later" include XD support on the 1 MB cache chips.

    Aren't some of the Xeons listed as things like '3.0F' actually '3.0E' because both the 1MB and 2MB parts are in that list. I'd've thought the 1MB ones would need the E suffix not F.
