Why hasn't intel released lower clocked quad cores?

They have released the q6600, which is derived from the e6600, but why haven't they broadened the range of quad cores with offerings such as q6300 or q6400?

I think these would sell really well. I know the prices of the q6600 will be dropping drastically, but still think there would be a market for these offerings... wouldn't there?
 
Personally, I am only hoping for 3GHz out of a q6600 when I get one.

I am not going to be waiting for Penryn, as I do not think it would be compatible with my board - Asus p5n-e.

Am not too worried about the heat, as I have fairly good cooling for my pc.

I suppose the fact that AMD has no quads does mean that there is no pressure on Intel to reduce prices much at the moment, as stated above.

Am not in a rush for a quad yet though, as my e4300 at 3.15GHz is handling most things just fine.
