Intel plans to introduce a new CPU, which is a blend between E5x00 and E6x00 generations and this Pentium dual core CPU will be branded as E6300. This new CPU will run at 2.8GHz, which is 100MHz faster than the E5400 and has the same clock speed as E7400.

The new thing with Pentium dual-core E6300 is that this CPU has 1066MHz FSB which is a feature of the E7x00 generation and it still has 2MB of L2 cache, which is a feature of the E5x00 generation.

This dual-core is based on 45nm Wolfdale core and it has a TDP of 65W. We expect this CPU to sell between €80 and €100 and it should launch in Q2 2009.
