This market will see the best of all of Intel's CPUs, mostly in quad-CPU systems. Large cache Xeons deliver heavy-duty performance right now and will be replaced by Foster. The Itanium will replace Xeon systems in many cases, but also opens up a whole new high-end workstation market to Intel products.
