Intel launched three budget processors that include the Core 2 Quad Q8200, Core 2 Duo E5200 and Celeron D 450. The Q8200 quad-core chip comes with a clock-speed of 2.33 GHz. This processor is based on the newer 45 nm silicon fabrication process and comes with a total of 4 MB L2 cache. Owing to a front-side bus frequency of 1333 MHz, it comes with a FSB multiplier of 7x. This part is priced at US $224 in thousand-unit tray quantities.
The Core 2 Duo E5200 is clocked at 2.50 GHz, comes with 2 MB of L2 cache and 800 MHz FSB with a multiplier of 12.5x. It is priced at $84. This one is based on the 45nm process as well. The Celeron D 450 is clocked at 2.2 GHz with 800 MHz memory and features 512 KB of L2 cache. It is priced at $53 per piece. This however, is based on the older 65nm process.

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?
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.
anyone got one/seen posts of performance?? plus do u reckon e5200 work on a m/b beta bios for e8200/400??
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.
hmm, I likey the looks of the E5200, when it launches, I am near certain that I am going to buy it....
im spouse the q8200 come more clock than q6600
