The changes will also happen in the low-end market segment. While the top of the price-list will be occupied by the 45nm processors, the older 65nm cores will be transferred to inexpensive CPUs priced below $150. As a result, we will definitely see new faster solutions in the Core 2 Duo E4000 and Pentium Dual-Core E2000 processor families...
