Two Intel Xeons make Eight cores pictured at 3GHz
 

WE SAW some Intel quad-core chippery purring away at at 3GHz, although the fastest we know of for sale works at 2.66 GHz.

For roughly $1000 you will get a single quad-core Xeon and if you double the money you will get twice as much. We saw the machine based on two 5300 series quad-core Xeons and Intel’s motherboard and 8500 chipset. We saw it up and running and we even had a chance to play with a machine for a while.
