claims Intel will introduce its Sandy Bridge based Celeron processors sometime later this quarter. The faster chips are expected to follow in Q4 2010.
This will be a dual-core Celeron and we are we believe that the graphics part of the chip will still end up enabled. As far as we know there won't be any chipset with graphics so the only integrated non-discrete graphics choice is the GPU inside of the Sandy Bridge.
Sandy Bridge will start in the Legacy L1 market segment it it should be available for $49.99 and of course it will get available in faster iteration that will require more money.
Intel still doesn’t talk about the specification of these future Celeron but this will be quite a technology leap as the current Celeron E3300 and E3400 are based on 45nm Wolfdale dual-core with 1MB of cache while the new Celerons of Q3 2011 will have a dual core 32nm with monolithic design.
