Intel’s Penryn Xeon Prices Revealed

We posted on Monday that DailyTech had stumbled-upon a leaked roadmap from Intel, revealing upcoming Penryn-based Xeons. Well, they’ve now come across the pricing for all of the chips, and they are intriguing to say the least.

The E5450 for $851 (in quantities of 1,000) is looking like a great offering. It offers an ultra-fast quad-core 3.0GHz clock speed, 12MB L2 cache, 1333FSB and a mild 80W TDP. What’s not to like? As far as ‘budget’ goes, you can score a quad-core E5410, 2.33GHz, for $256. Though server CPU’s, it would not be surprising to see enthusiasts scrambling to acquire a few models once available, since the Xeon line-up will be the first to take advantage of Penryn.
