what is pantium dual xeon?

Answer 1

it sounds like a pantium xeon dual processor...dual core processors are the latest versions of processors..they are a single chip, but actes like two individual processors n hence increase the performace of the computer..for example a 1.7 Ghz Dual processor will be almost twice faster then a normal 1.7Ghz processor

Answer 2

First to Correct it is not pantium, correct is Pentium Xeon is Type of Processor mostly used in servers.

In essence the new Xeon isn’t that different from the Pentium 4, much like its predecessor the Pentium III Xeon wasn’t that much different from the Pentium III. If we take a closer look at the differences between the Pentium III Xeon and the Pentium III one things is obvious, the Xeon is available in a number of different L2-cache configurations that cannot be had with the Pentium III and only comes in a Slot-2 form factor. Other features include the variety of advanced management features to monitor and safeguard the CPU to ensure it runs safely and within operating conditions. Naturally these advanced features cannot be found on a regular Pentium III.

With the Xeon DP and the Pentium 4 it’s a different story all together, both use a socket approach, but the Pentium Xeon DP uses Socket-603 and the Pentium 4 Socket-423. Although that makes perfectly clear that the Pentium 4 wasn’t meant to be pin-compatible, it also indicates that the Pentium 4 core needed a lot more pins to enable SMP, dual processing, and include a number of advanced management features as we’ve seen on the Pentium III Xeon.

One other thing that’s worth mentioning is that the Pentium III Xeon was never really targeted towards the high-end workstation, it simply was restricted to the server market due to the supporting chipsets and motherboards. These never really offered the cutting edge performance needed to enable high-end workstation class performance. However with the Pentium Xeon DP Intel takes a whole different approach, the Xeon DP is designed to go head to head with the likes of Sun and SGI and other high-end workstation manufacturers, and server versions of the new Xeon MP are to be introduced later this year.

Answer 3

The first Xeon processor was released in 1998 as the Pentium II Xeon as the replacement of the Pentium Pro. The Pentium II Xeon was based on the P6 microarchitecture and used either a 440GX (a dual-processor workstation chipset) or 450NX (quad-processor, or oct with additional logic) chipset, and differed from the desktop Pentium II in that it had a full-speed, off-die L2 cache. It also used a larger slot known as slot 2 Cache sizes were 512 KiB, 1 MiB and 2 MiB, and it used a 100 MT/s bus.

Answer 4

Go to Intel's site for detailed info. As someone already answered, dual-core xeon is basically two processors in one chip to give you better performance than a single-core chip.
