A couple of hours after posting this appeared on the official Intel
website, ED - MAYBE THEY WERE LISTENING TO OUR CCC CONVERSATION!
" SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 20, 1998 – Intel
Corporation today announced
Pentium® II Xeon™ (pronounced "ZEE’-on"), a new
brand name for a line
of processors that will be designed specifically to
meet the needs of
midrange and higher server and workstation
applications. Intel’s Pentium II
Xeon processor will offer leadership performance
and scalability for those
manufacturers designing workstations and servers.
Intel will introduce the
processors midyear with system products to follow
shortly thereafter.
"This is another step in the evolution of our Intel
Inside® branding
strategy," said Dennis Carter, vice president,
Intel Sales and Marketing
Group. "The purpose of having separate brands is to
give users the ability
to quickly and easily identify the system with the
processor that best suits
their needs. The Pentium II Xeon brand will now
identify processors for
enterprise servers and workstations, delivering
performance for
business-critical applications."
Consistent with Intel’s new strategy to design and
deliver unique processor
products in order to best meet the needs of unique
market segments, the
Pentium II Xeon processors will feature specific
technical innovations to
meet the requirements for server and workstation
applications. For servers,
the Pentium II Xeon processor has been designed
with larger and faster
level 2 caches, as well as multiprocessing
capabilities, which enable the
user to scale and expand their system to support
current and future
business-critical applications. For workstations,
processor performance
coupled with faster level 2 caches provides the
higher performance needed
to address the diverse needs of the workstation
market segment.
So, the name is Xeon.
