Intel is planning to launch its new range of processors, the E2100 series.
Intel’s upcoming Pentium E2100-series reveal the value processor doesn’t fall too far behind the Core 2 Duo E4000-series, when comparing equal clock speeds.

Intel will launch its Pentium E2100-series processors in June with sub-$100 pricing. The new processor is based on Intel’s Conroe core but halves the L2 cache of similar Core 2 Duo E4000-series, making for a total of only 1MB of L2 cache.

Games such as Half Life 2, Doom 3 Far Cry and Quake IV show minimal framerate differences around 1-4 FPS, at 1024×768. Serious Sam shows a larger delta at 7 FPS, favoring the Core 2 Duo E4300 when comparing the benchmarks.

Intel will unveil the Pentium E2100-series in June with two models, the E2160 clocked at 1.8 GHz and E2140 clocked at 1.6 GHz.

This is a really great news, as one can obtain a conroe for really cheaper rates.
