Source: X-bit labs - Intel Preps Dual-Core Celeron Microprocessors - Documents.QUOTE It was just a matter of time before the leading makers of central processing units (CPUs) start to sell dual-core chips for value computers and it now seems that the time will come in the first quarter of next year, when Intel Corp. unveils dual-core Intel Celeron microprocessors aiming the most affordable personal computers (PCs).
The first Intel Celeron E1200 dual-core processor working at 1.60GHz, utilizing 800MHz processor system bus and featuring 512KB of unified secondary-level cache will emerge in the first quarter of 2008 to target cost-effective desktops. Later during the year Intel plans to add more chips into the Intel Celeron E1000 dual-core lineup, creating a comprehensive family of affordable chips with two processing engines.
Intel's Celeron E1000 dual-core processors are set to be made using 65nm process technology and are projected to fit into 65W thermal design power envelope. The new CPUs will be drop-in compatible with all platforms that support code-named Conroe processors, e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or Intel Pentium dual-core E2000-series.
According to documents seen by X-bit labs, Intel plans to describe the new Intel Celeron dual-core processor as delivering "entry multi-tasking experience for value-conscious customers". Currently Intel sells Celeron processors for $34 - $59, therefore, it is possible to expect that the new E1000-series will also fit into that gap. It is interesting to note that the launch of the new Celeron dual-core chips will not mean end of life for Intel Pentium processors, which will continue to serve upper segment of low-cost desktop systems.
Given relatively low clock-speed and not a large cache, it is unlikely that Intel Celeron E1000 dual-core microprocessors will show incredible performance. Nevertheless, the forthcoming emergence of the new chips proof that multi-core technology are rushing into the value segment of the market.
The launch of low-cost dual-core Intel Celeron E1000-series processors will cause the chip giant's rival Advanced Micro Devices to either waterfall prices of its entry-level single-core AMD Athlon LE and AMD Sempron chips, or to introduce value dual-core processors as well and reconsider pricing of single-core offerings.
Officials for Intel did not comment on the news-story. No more excuse for being single core, it seems...  |

It won't be based on Penryn since it is made using 65nm fabrication process as opposed to 45nm. |

Maybe something like Sempron X2 will do..LOL.. Anyway, the one thing i am eager waiting is, how much would it cost. Low end Pentium E was just slightly above the RM200 mark. In this case, this is somewhere around RM150+? Gosh, Dual Core are like what single cores are nowadays.. |

Gosh, Dual Core are like what single cores are nowadays.. even they sell at rm150, with some price adjustments, Athlon X2 3600+ can be sold at that price since AMD now is busy clearing their K8 in warehouse, furthermore now 3600+ only for RM200, if Intel sell their new Celery at below RM200, hardly they can make profit and that will stifle the single core Celeries  |

Being able to sell dual cores at such a low price could also mean Intel's fab production 65nm yields are extremely good. Anyway, while Intel was still making profits during the price wars, AMD has been in the red the last 3 quarters and are still having 90nm processors for their top end (dual core Opterons, FX-72/FX-74 and 6000+/6400+). Selling processors at such low prices could only hurt AMD more... |

BTW... i did post a SuperPI result at the 680i thread showing my frenz celeron 420(at 2.8GHz(350x8)) doing 28sec in 1M super PI... try to do tat wif AMD's current sub RM200 procs...  |

how about 3dmark CPU score and sisoft sandra benchmark then? my dear superPi fanatic  SuperPi isn't about everything, being faster in superpi doesn't mean it pawns everything summore u compare an OC'ed Celeron with a stock Athlon X2 noob  i have no interest to bring in the OCbility in the discussion, not every celeron dies has the same ocbility and not everyone will OC their proc till every last drop, and not every trials could be as stable as stock clock This post has been edited by dattebayo: Oct 14 2007, 02:57 AM |

actually,we cant compare oc result as this is not everyone know how to do it.
better compare stock to stock.

BTW wif Corsair XMS2 2GB(1GBx2) DDR800 and Forsa 8600GT he did around 5.5k+ almost same wif my rig(5.8k) on stock...
