Intel's 45nm Prices & Performance

Interesting...not that much of a boost in most cases, but still impressive considering the price range.

Edit: I would add a $100 to those prices as they are unreasonably low.

Compare the similar clocked chips on the market today haven't come down in price to those levels, and the numbering systems on these chips make them sound like they completely eclipse the E6000s series, so get ready for some major price gouging

Any E6850 will do 3.8-4.0+ for only $281 retail box shipped. An E6600 is still $226 shipped. New is cheaper.

I've been following Intel Core 2 duo/Quad prices and the prices are dropping off. That signals a new (faster) CPU is going to be released, as I don't understand why Intel would cut prices otherwise.

Hmm, I wonder if they have a 1600 FSB in the works
