Intel is planning on replacing the current 65nm Core 2 Duo 2000 series with a new 45nm series series called Core 2 Duo 3000. The series will sport 1066MHz FSB, 1.5MB L2 cache (a quarter of 6MB) and the first model of the series will be Core 2 Duo E3140, which operates at 2.13GHz. Price will be $75 in units of a thousand. The first shipments should arrive in June. The high multiplier and attractive price will most likely make it a very attractive toy for benchers and people looking for the most bang for the buck.
