We still have Celeron/Pentium/i3/i5/i7 lineup system, Celerons are for bargain basement parts which is not very cost efficient, then we have the Pentiums which are just about cost efficient if you cheap out on everything, i3 are very good value but lacking in raw multicore processing, i5 for your power users and finally i7 for those who wants absolutely every last bit of processing power.

Current problem of IVB Pentiums is the lack of cheap motherboard to pair up with them.
