Foster

From TPU Reference

roleldelboc4 Foster was the first Xeon based on the netburst architecture. It was basically a copy of the Willamette but it used Socket 603 which allowed it to run in a dual processor configuration. Like Willamette, Foster had 256 KB cache and a 400 MHz FSB and was made at 0.18µ. Foster was available between 1.5 and 2 GHz. For multiprocessor configurations there was also a Foster MP, which had added L3 cache to make up for the FSB bottleneck.

Foster features:

• 8 KB L1 data + 12 K L1 instruction cache
• 256 KB L2 cache
• Frequency between 1.6 GHz and 2.0 GHz
• 400 MHz FSB
• 0.18µ
• Dual processor capable
• MMX, SSE and SSE2
• Socket 603
