Intel plans to launch the second Wolfdale 45nm based dual-core in sub or close to €100 market. It has been happily selling Core 2 Duo E7200 clocked at 2.53GHz with FSB 1066 and 3MB cache for around €90.
Intel plans to bring the new CPU on top of E7200 branded E7300
and this new CPU will work at 2.66GHz. It also comes with 1066MHz FSB support,
3MB cache, two core and two thread support and it stays at 65W TDP.
It doesn’t makes this CPU that attractive as it will cost
just around €20 cheaper than Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 also clocked at 2.67GHz but
with FSB 1333 and 6MB cache.
Core 2 duo CPUs are insanely cheap and are coming at very
attractive price. This is simply an end user's paradise.
