It would be very pleasing for the end-users that the new Celeron processors will be selling at very attractive prices. Celeron 420 processor working at 1.6GHz will be offered for about $40, and the top single-core model on Core micro-architecture, Celeron 440 working at 2.0GHz frequency will be priced at around $60.

Unfortunately, despite all the advantages, the new Celeron processors will hardly be able to surprise overclocking fans. The maximum frequency these processors can hit with air cooling should be close to 3GHz, which seems a pretty modest result for CPUs on Core micro-architecture.
