Budget Xeons? :) (0 Comments) (link)

alchemy sent this along:

Just been reading a review over at apcmag.com - the online side of Australian Personal Computer. It appears that these people have had their daily dose of crack - they think that an Intel Xeon is a budget processor. Check these quotes..
 
Taken from the intro for a pc-comparo they're running: 

"Budget processors, such as the Intel Xeon and Celeron, and AMD Duron, were not as prevalent as they were last year."
 
And then again, taken from a short review of a system:

"With its 700MHz AMD Duron processor, it's one of only two systems here to feature one of the budget processors -- Celeron, Xeon or Duron."
 
TWICE - thats shocking. One of their senior tech writes obviously thinks Intel's expensive-as-all-hell server-orientated processor is for value markets - HEH. Not good for Australia's second biggest print tech mag.


Hehe.. oh dear. :)
