Intel are apparently readying a dual-core Celeron part for release in the first quarter of next year. The E1200 dual-core processor running at 1.60GHz with an 800MHz FSB and come with a small 512Kb of L2 cache. This part will be supplemented further down the line with more chips in the same range.They will likely sell for between £20 and £40 and will add to Intel’s current offerings for low cost desktop systems. These new chips will not mean the end of days for Pentium chips, as they will still serve the top end low cost desktops.If I can get any confirmation on this I most certainly will.
