recently released the Celeron E1600,
it seems Intel is preparing to launch a new series of Celeron processors in Q3. The E3000 family it said to debut with two models - the E3200 and E3300, which are dual-core 45nm parts clocked at 2.4 and 2.5GHz respectively, that boast a FSB of 800MHz, 1MB of L2 cache and a TDP of 65W. Unlike the 65nm E1000s, the upcoming Celeron E3000 CPUs will include support for virtualization.
There's no word as to the new processors' prices but they should cost under $60.
