Intel Plans 64-bit Celeron Push

According to a processor roadmap Intel began circulating to its customers in March, however, the semiconductor giant will field five separate 64-bit Celeron parts. The processors will have the model-number designations 326, 331, 336, 341, 346, 351, and 355. The clock speeds of those chips are 2.53 GHz, 2.66 GHz, 2.8 GHz, 2.93 GHz, 3.06 GHz, 3.2 GHz, and 3.33 GHz, respectively.

…While Intel won’t announce pricing specifics until it makes its announcement later this month, its processor roadmap says that the model 326 will be priced under $400. The models 336 and 341 will be priced between $400 and $600. The higher-end 346 and 351 Celerons will sell for between $600 and $700. Pricing isn’t shown for the top-of-the-line, 3.33 GHz model 355, though presumably it will sell for more than $700.
