Intel cuts prices of low power desktop CPUs

Mar 06, 2012: Intel published today new version of official pricelist. According to it, the company reduced prices for low-power desktop Celeron, Pentium and Core i3 processors. Intel also added pricing for just released Xeon E5-1600 and E5-2600 series CPUs (they will be covered in a separate article), and Atom D2550.

Intel launches new Celerons, refreshes Pentium and Core families

Sep 04, 2011: Over the course of past few months, we published a series of stories detailing Intel plans to release new desktop Celeron processors, and refresh existing Pentium and Core-branded families. Today Intel made public new pricelist, that confirms specifications and prices of all models, that we reported on before.

Prices of upcoming Intel desktop CPUs

Jul 27, 2011: In September, Intel plans to release new Sandy Bridge Celeron processors, as well as refresh budget and mid-class desktop processor families. In total, there will be 11 models: four Celerons, three Pentiums, three Core 3s, and one Core i5 SKU. Specifications of these microprocessors were known for quite some time. Prices for several Celeron and Core i3 chips were published by Fudzilla news site in June. Three days ago, VR-Zone revealed prices for other upcoming Celeron, Pentium and Core i3 CPUs.

New 2nd generation Core CPUs in Q3 2011

Jun 14, 2011: Recently, Fudzilla published two stories with specifications and prices of three Core i3 processors, as well as details on Core i5-2330 CPU. The new SKUs, planned for the third quarter 2011, are speed bump versions of existing Core i3 and i5 microprocessors, and provide insignificant improvements to CPU or graphics performance in comparison with older models. Yesterday Intel updated Material Declaration Data Sheets database, and added S-spec and box part numbers for upcoming chips.

Intel plans three new Core i3 models in Q3 2011

May 25, 2011: Intel Core i3 Sandy Bridge CPUs are not overly expensive dual-core processors, that were introduced in February of this year. Common features of these microprocessors include 3 MB level 3 cache, HyperThreading and Virtualization technologies, as well as support for SSE4 and Advanced Vector Extensions instructions. Although this family was expanded with new i3-2105 CPU only a few days ago, there are reports that more Core i3-branded models will be coming soon. According to Fudzilla, in the third quarter Intel will introduce three Core i3 SKUs with increased clock frequency or improved graphics capabilities. The new models are low-power Core i3-2120T, and mainstream Core i3-2125 and i3-2130, all priced in the $120 - $140 range.
