I thought that was the E5200...?

2xxx only had 1MB L2 cache while, I think 5200 as 2MB ... so 3200 with 1MB presumably is addressing a price point below 5200. Maybe Intel are also playing the "reuse die where part of L2 is faulty" trick that AMD seem to be doing with 8xx PhenomIIs.

Suspect that the price differential will be pretty small but this core may be aimed more at the big system builders where saving a couple of dollars per PC may be a big deal - remember reading that one of the ATI low end gfx cards would have a major win over the equiv Nvidia because it was low enough power to get all its power from the PCIe socket (i..e not additional power connector needed) thus it saved cost of power lead + was quicker to install and at volumes poeple like Dell did was very significant!
 
E2000 -> E3000
E4000 -> E5000
E6000 -> E8000
Q6000 -> Q9000

Seems more like it?

You're missing the E7000 series. Also the Q8000 series, but they don't really follow on from anything.

But yeah, I'd second the 45nm celerons as the E3000 series actually. I think that the E5200 is a 'pentium dual core', and its price indicates it's the E2000 series' successor, rather than the E4000.

Wow my sentence structure broke there.
 
E2000 -> E3000
E4000 -> E5000
E6000 -> E8000
Q6000 -> Q9000

More like;

E2000 -> E5000
E4000 -> E7000
E6000 -> E8000
Q6000 -> Q9000

65nm to 45nm.

This new E3x00 series CPU is more of an odd one out, and does look to be more of a 45nm Celeron instead.
 
link in the OP gives "The search key entered does not match an Intel® processor. Please check that the search key was entered correctly and try again. "
 
Maybe, but the Celeron, "Pentium dual core" names etc are just marchitecture to try to differentiate the markets. Calling it a celeron rather than pentium may differentiate it more from the 5200 than its performance will!

Of course, the brand names are exactly that, and the brand for this CPU will be Celeron :)
