IN DAYS OF yore Intel charged a considerable premium on chips with heaps of cache, but that's set to change at the end of this month.

Intel will launch its "Tulsa" range of server microprocessors on the 27th of August, and at prices considerably below the previous iteration of Xeon MP chips.

Here's some details, hastily scribbled down on the back of a fag packet. The cache is L2. µ

Number	Clock	FSB	Cache	Cash
7140M	3.4GHz	800	16MB	$1,980
7140N	3.33GHz	667	16MB	$1,980
7130M	3.2GHz	800	8MB	$1,390
7130N	3.16GHz	667	8MB	$1,390
7120M	3GHz	800	4MB	$1,180
7120N	3GHz	667	4MB	$1,180
