Actually i dont have detailed knowledge abt the Xeon but as it is supposed to be the difference in some parts of the internal cores, register sizes so to be able to support high memory addressing, and better cahces optimized in there speed/latency/cache size/replacement algorithems so that it would work best with the inteded to be used programs and multiprocessing. (some algorithems can be very helpful in single core but cause disasters in multi core systems)

[citation][nom]NightLight[/nom]how 'bout those photonic processors they've got running somewhere in a secret underground lab? will 2010 be the breaktrough year?[/citation]
I dont believe we are even close to that, depending on an article posted here before, the US gov. is cooperating with SUN to get one, and they are not sure they would...
For my beleifs even if they were able to do it, it wont be 2010 the prime time, potonic cpus would be super extreme cpus and would start the use of after moor's law 'dies'.

You guys mention 8 cores - I do not see it in this article. I see 8 threads on four cores, but not 16 threads on 8 cores. What am I missing?
