The latest in over-cheap and over-hot systems ...

For higher-end systems with four processors, Intel has begun selling its dual-core "Tulsa" Xeon processor, which unlike Woodcrest is based on the electricity-hungry and all-but-discontinued NetBurst architecture. Tulsa compensates by using a huge 16MB of on-board high-speed cache memory, but the high-performance model will consume up to 150 watts compared with 80 watts for Woodcrest.

WHY ON EARTH people would buy NOW a system that has ran its useful lifetime LONG TIME AGO?

SInce the Woodcrest is out, why would OEMs build systems with anything related to the bungked NetBURP datapath? It defies common or uncommon sense....

And this beast consumes 150 Watts! These chips will work perfectly in the North/South poles No need for cooling .... But they may still pierce a hole in the ice so be careful.
