Say Hello To The WoodCrest

As expected, Intel has officially released its Core technology-based Xeon CPU (aka WoodCrest). This new processor has faster than its predecessor while releasing up to 40% less heat. Hereafter is the price list of the current WoodCrest Xeon models available from Intel (price per unit for 1000 units order).
- Xeon DP 5110: 1.60 GHz, FSB1066, 4 MB cache L2, 209$
- Xeon DP 5120: 1.86 GHz, FSB1066, 4 MB cache L2, 256$
- Xeon DP 5130: 2.00 GHz, FSB1333, 4 MB cache L2, 316$
- Xeon DP 5140: 2.33 GHz, FSB1333, 4 MB cache L2, 455$
- Xeon DP 5150: 2.66 GHz, FSB1333, 4 MB cache L2, 690$
- Xeon DP 5160: 3.00 GHz, FSB1333, 4 MB cache L2, 851$
Price for companies such as Apple or Dell are of course be much lower (part of undisclosed information in Intel and Apple partnership).
Hereafter is a photo of a Intel motherboard supporting 2 Xeons.

It is likely a very similar motherboard design that will be used in the future Xserve models, whereas the Mac Pro will probably feature a motherboard with additional PCI-e slots.
