Intel Launches Three Budget Processors

mlee49 · Sep 2, 2008

I'm curious why Intel launched three new 'budget' line chips? The 8600's launch drove down the e8x00 series and when the e7x00 came out I thought they the 'budget' chips. I saw a e7200 for $100 at Microcenter over the weekend. I guess I understand the Q8200 for a mid-quad chip, but what is it I'm missing?

65nm:
Q6000(Quads)
E6000(High End Duals)
E4000(Mid Range Duals)
E2000(Low End Duals)
E1000(Extreme Budget Duals)
400(Single Cores)

45nm:
Q9000(High End Quads)
Q8000(Low End Quads)
E8000(High End Duals)
E7000(Mid Range Duals)
E5000(Low End Duals)
E3000(Extreme Budget Duals)*
600(Single Cores)*

*These haven't been announced yet, I'm just speculating.

I have been buying E2180 and turning them up to 2.8 easy. Throw away the cheapo aluminum cooler that comes with them and use a Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro.
