Intel's decision to take a heavily-cached Xeon and let it go slumming with gamers is a pretty brilliant tactical move against AMD.

First, it is clearly not an active move, but a response to Athlon64-FX.

If it is exactly brillant to offer the top-of-the-line Xeon as a gaming chip, is to be seen: You know, everybody can see now it takes everything Intel has to counter Athlon-64-performance at launch. In 32-bit. I could imagine selling Xeons will be not exactly easier from this point going forward.
