Intel are planning to launch a value range of quad core CPU's to directly rival AMD's X3 and X4 parts.

The first budget part, a 2.33GHz quad-core Q8200 is said to launch in Q3, with a 1,333MHz FSB and 4MiB L2 cache. Pricing is believed to be around $203 in thousand-unit quantities

The 8000 series chips will be built on Intel's 45nm fab, and are believed to be a direct replacement for the current 65nm 6000 series. Reports suggest that Intel's new chips won't feature TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) and VT (Virtualisation Technology), in order to differentiate from its Q9000 parts.
