Oops, in addition to getting the name wrong, I was mistaken about the
lineage of the current generation of Xeon processors. Thanks, Patrik,
for pointing this out. :-) That'll teach me to nitpick...

Not to nitpick or anything, but there is no such thing as a
multiprocessor P4 system. The Pentium 4 can't do multiprocessor -- you
have to go to Xenon, and Xenon is derived from the P3 core (though I'm
sure it's been updated with a lot of the improvements from the P4).
The Xeon is derived from the P4, not the PIII. The PIII Xeon was
derived from the PIII, but isn't available at anything near 3GHz.
The processor Intel is selling as Xeon is based on the NetBurst
microarchitecture (which is basically what was new about the P4 and
what really differentiates it from the PIII), it has SSE2 (also added
with the P4), it has HyperThreading (again a P4 thing, although it
wasn't available in the initial P4s). It's a P4 with SMP support.
