Chipzilla´s new price list introduces three new Xeons and a solitary Pentium III, along with price cuts of up to 44 per cent on existing parts. All prices are for 1000-unit quantities.

At the high end, there´s a new Xeon at 933MHz with 256KB on-die cache (two-way SMP only) at $794, while the 866 and 800MHz parts drop by 23 and 29 percent respectively to $612 and $435.

The most significant new arrival is the Cashcades 700MHz Xeon with 2MB on-die cache it makes its debut at $1,980, while the 1MB L2 version costs a mere $1177. Both these parts can run in four way and above SMP configurations.
Somewhat bafflingly, the previous big cache part, the 0.25 micron 550/2MB, stays at its hefty price of $3692.
