Intel has quietly introduced three new processors to its lineup that are designed to target different segments of the market.

E5200 cheesecake... all hail the new budget king

fast, cheap and low power consumption, the Q8200 however is pointless in my opinion, Q6600 forever (does not apply to america where Q9450 and Q9550 are priced reasonably).

If my maths is right, the Q8200 will have a multiplier of 7?

That means to get to the 3.6Ghz a Q6600 should usually be able to reach, the FSB will need to be 514Mhz? That's pretty high, overclockers will struggle unless they've got the best of boards.

So why not just get the Q6600?

That 7x multi on the 8200 is going to limit it to all but the most FSB happy boards... at least if you want it clocked fast. On the other hand, that 5200, with a 12.5x multi (presumably unlocked downwards) looks awful nice for a budget chip. Makes me tempted to get one to put in my HTPC.

I can't imagine why you would want the Q8200 unless you aren't wanting to overclock it and just want a processor that runs cooler than the Q6600. It has a lower stock clock, a higher stock fsb and is more expensive. Doesn't really make sense!

The poor schmucks who buy celerons based on the clockspeed :<

At least these aren't as bad as the Q9400 that I've seen around lately. They quietly snuck it in in place of the 9450 in most places, it's like $5 cheaper, and has half the cache. ****.
