That isn't terrible.  The original 400mhz xeons were pricey if you went to the
2048K L2
cache size, they were around $5,000.  When I bought these 1M L2 700 mhz
processors, they
were 1300 bucks each and the 2M versions were around $3,000.

Seems that the L2 cache size is a big contributor to pricing.  Or, more
realistically,  Intel
believes these will end up in large servers where they can get a bigger slice of
the
financial pie.  :)
