Sources at Taiwanese motherboard makers claim Intel is getting ready to launch 12 new 45nm server processors in the last quarter of this year.
Pricing will vary from $199 to $1,199. Nine chips will be part of the quad-core Xeon 5400 series Harpertown lineup and three will be part of the dual-core Xeon 5200 Wolfdale series.
The quad-core models will be clocked between 2GHz and 3.16GHz with up to 12MB L2 cache while the dual-core Wolfdales will be clocked between 1.86GHz and 3.4GHz with 6MB L2 cache.
Most of these 12 CPUs will have a 1333MHz FSB, the 1.86GHz Wolfdale's bus will run at 1066MHz and two Harpertowns and one Wolfdale will have a 1600MHz FSB.
