Rumor: Intel to launch Core 2 Duo T5200 CPU in October
By
Intel plans to start offering an entry-level Core 2 Duo processor, the T5200, for OEM notebook makers in October, in order to compete with AMD’s entry-level Mobile Turion 64×2 CPUs, according to sources at Taiwan notebook makers.
The T5200 CPU, which will pair with Intel’s 945 chipsets, will gradually take over the role currently being filled by the T2250 and T2050, the sources indicated. In addition, the T5200 should be available at a price much lower than the current Core 2 Duo T5500 and T5600, which are priced at US$209 and US$241, respectively, the sources indicated.
