Intel to axe single core Celeron

hmm you forgot to add its being replaced with a low class dual core celeron based on the 65nm process...
i think its good news, means dual core is really becoming mainstream in the buyers market, meaning everything that has a intel cpu will be dual core.

1.6Ghz, with 512k cache... Woah, thats going to a big improvement over the old 2 Ghz P4 based celerons. I guess Intel have finally realised that the Sempron always did run faster than Celeron.
Ok its still a very low end chip, but it will be cheap, and bringing dual core to the most basic entry level systems has got to encourage more software development for multicore systems.

how cheap are they really going to be? e21's are already <£50, thats cheaper than most celerons ever were lol
I was thinking the same thing, unless they are £25-30 they wont be worth it
I posted a link a while back in here regarding the new Celerons and it was only inevitable that single core Intel chips are going to be scrapped, Its crazy the amount of laptops use Celeron chips which I personally feel Intel are aiming these at, either way they should OC well & be MUCH quicker than the Celerons were used to 
So:
Celeron Dual-Core: 1.6Ghz 512Kb
Pentium Dual-Core: 1.6-2Ghz 1Mb
E4*00: 1.8-2.2Ghz 2mb
What worries me is the extremely limited L2, some newer games like UT3 are already very sensitive to the amount of L2 cache, so I think 512Kb is really going to seriously cripple the performance. But then it's a Celeron, and this time it's bound to out perform Sempron.

Yes but 99.9% of people who buy Celerons aren’t gamers they are aimed at budged setups and you can say these will be a lot quicker than the AMD offerings Semprons.
And that's what I said...
Just read a very interesting article on CPC and apparantly there may be 45nm 2Mb & 3Mb dual core celerons based on the penryn core. One of the models will even feature a 1066FSB. Now these will be the ultimate budget chips!
