Intel launched as many as 16 new processors over the weekend, including 11 desktop socket LGA1155, and 5 mobile chips. The new wave includes several new sub-$100 parts covering key price-points, and carrying the Pentium and Celeron brands. Leading the pack is a new quad-core chip that is sure to strike a price-performance sweetspot: the Core i5-2320. This chip displaces the Core i5-2300 from its price-point of US $177, and is faster. While the i5-2300 is nominally clocked at 2.80 GHz, the i5-2320 runs at 3.00 GHz. Another significant introduction here is the Core i3-2130, which displaces the i3-2120 from its price-point of $139. The new dual-core chip is clocked at 3.40 GHz, 100 MHz faster than the chip it's displacing.Then there's another kind of change, the Core i3-2125. This chip is identically clocked with the i3-2120 at 3.30 GHz, but it might be tweaked in other parameters (such as GPU clock speed, feature-set, etc). Core i3-2120T is a new low-power desktop chip, that's clocked at 2.60 GHz, and nearly half the rated TDP, at 35W. Then there's a trio of Pentium-branded dual-core chips, including the G630T, G860, and G630, clocked at 2.30 GHz, 3.00 GHz, and 2.70 GHz, displacing the G620T, G850, and G620, respectively.Scraping the $50 mark at $52 is Celeron G540, clocked at 2.50 GHz, followed by Celeron G530 (2.40 GHz), that is $10 cheaper. Celeron G530T is a low-power chip, with 35W TDP, clocked at 2.00 GHz, and priced at $47. The Priced at no more than $37, the Celeron G440 is a single-core chip clocked at 1.60 GHz.With mobile processors, Intel introduced a new extreme performance chip, the Core i7-2960XM. Armed with 4 cores clocked at 2.70 GHz, 8 threads with HyperThreading enabled, 8 MB of L3 cache, and 55W TDP, this chip is in the contention for being the fastest notebook processor ever made. It is available to manufacturers at US $1096 a piece. Trailing this are two more quad-core chips. The Core i7-2860QM quad-core processor is clocked at 2.50 GHz, and features HyperThreading and the full 8 MB of L3 cache. This one is priced at US $568. Next up is the Core i7-2760QM. Clocked at 2.40 GHz, this chip features HyperThreading, but has only 6 MB of L3 cache enabled. The TDP doesn't change, though. It is priced at $378. The last new Core mobile chip is the i7-2640M dual-core, which features HyperThreading yielding it 4 threads, and 4 MB of L3 cache. Its TDP is rated at 35W. Last but not the least, there's Celeron B840 dual-core, clocked at 1.90 GHz, which lacks HyperThreading, and features 2 MB of L3 cache. This one is priced at a modest $86.
