Dual-Core Celeron Processors

Not to be outdone, Intel has rolled out its first dual-core Celeron processors. In addition to driving down the cost on all other dual-core processors, while improving the overall quality, this will also quite possibly push the quad-core out in front once and for all.
As noted by the great staff over at Engadget:
The first of those processors to hit the market is the 1.6GHz E1200 model, which relies on the slightly less-desirable 65-nanometer manufacturing process and boasts 512K bytes of cache and an 800MHz front-side bus. Not exactly the most impressive of processors, but nothing to sneeze at either, especially considering its $53 price tag — in quantities of 1,000 units, that is. No word on any other dual-core additions to the line, but given Intel’s track record of processor offerings, we’d expect this to be only a taste of things to come.
