It is a Prescott core. It is slow, too. As I mentioned previously (month or two ago), it looks like the 64bit extensions on the new Xeon chips is also broken. Crafty 19.15 64bit on the Xeon 3.6GHz (with 64bit extensions) got 1.29 million nodes/sec (about the same speed as a p4-2.9 to 3ghz northwood). The Opteron 150 (2.4ghz) in 64bit mode got 2.19 million nodes/sec. This is from the Anandtech test results compiled w/ GCC. Not only this, the Xeon-Prescotts (any Prescott for that matter) run EXTREMELY hot. My advice would be to go for the dual Opteron setup. Intel wants to make it "look" good, but when you test it you'll find the exact opposite. Do not waste the money.
