<P>The Pentium II Xeon processor 400 MHz is Intel s second processor speed introduced in the latest Intel Inside microprocessor family designed exclusively for today s powerful servers and workstations. The new processor is expected to accelerate the strong early industry acceptance of Pentium II Xeon processor-based workstations and servers. Dual-processor (two-way) workstation and server customers are migrating their most mission-critical, demanding applications to systems based on the Pentium II Xeon processors. System vendors including HP plan to ship systems based on the Pentium II Xeon processor 400 MHz later this month. Like other members of the Pentium II Xeon processor family, the new Pentium II Xeon processor at 400 MHz delivers industry-leading performance from its larger and faster Level 2 (L2) caches, multiprocessing capabilities and 100-MHz system bus. The combination of the pure performance of the Pentium II Xeon processor and the systems scaleability brings exceptional levels of price performance to the two-way server and workstation market segments. </P>
