Intel will go Hollywood next week to demonstrate its fastest Xeon processor yet. The chipmaker will show off a 2GHz version of its high-end Xeon chip at the Siggraph computer graphics trade show starting Tuesday in Los Angeles, Intel executives confirmed. The 2GHz Xeon will star in demonstrations of single- and dual-processor workstations. PC makers IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Dell Computer also are expected to demonstrate new Xeon-based systems slated for release later in the quarter.
