Intel Pentium E2140 & E2160

@ 2007/06/15
So what are these new Pentium dual-core processors? Well, in essence they
are stripped down Conroe processors featuring a tiny 1MB L2 cache with an
800MHz FSB.

There are two versions currently available, the Pentium E2140 and the E2160.
Clocked at 1.8GHz the E2160 matches the E4300 in terms of clock speed while
featuring half as much L2 cache. The E2140 on the other hand is now the
slowest desktop “Core 2” processor, clocked at just 1.6GHz. With both CPUs
priced below the $100 mark ($84 and $99, respectively), this should make for
an interesting race against its more expensive siblings.

didn't Intel drop the Pentium name?
