Intel yesterday took the wraps off the 2.4GHz dualie Xeon, its fastest low-end server processor to date. The part is manufactured on 300mm wafers, the first dualies to roll off this line, and built using 0.13micron technology. As Intel points out, this combo of bigger wafers and smaller die size means higher volume manufacturing at lower cost. The part is priced at $615, in 1000 unit quantities.
