Interesting news on lower end Intel processors that will be coming out that are based on the Intel Core micro-architecture.

We have been told by our source from Taiwan manufacturer that Intel would officially release Pentium E and Celeron 400 product lines on June 3. At that time of release, Core micro-architecture will then cover all range of desktop processor segment.

Pentium E2160 (1.8GHz/1MB L2/800MHz FSB) and Pentium E2140 (1.6GHz/.1MB L2/800MHz FSB) will be the replacement of Pentium D 935 and Pentium D 925. The prices setting for this two are $84 and $74. Besides, the prices setting for Celeron D 440(2GHz/512KB L2/800MHz FSB) and Celeron D 430 (1.8GHz/512KB L2/800MHz FSB) are $59 and $49 respectively. According to the testing result from the market, either one could provide a better performance than Celeron 360 running at 3.6 GHz, especially for gaming purpose.

I'm still in shock that the Pentium D 920 that I bought 1 year ago for $243 is not only discontinued, but the 935/925's can be had for less than $75!!

While that part sorta sucks, it also makes me glad that I'm getting rid of my Pentium 4 2.6C while I still can!
