Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor at 3.40GHz will be Intel"s only Extreme Edition chip for a while, as the company does not currently have plans to make processors with L3 cache using 90nm technology next year.
The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition microprocessors called as Pentium 4 XE or Pentium 4 EE by the hardware community are based on the 0.13 micron core designed for multi-processor servers called "Gallatin". Originally announced in Q4 2002, Gallatin Xeon MP processors with large level three caches are generally expected to serve Intel"s IA32 MP servers till very late 2004 or early 2005.
