Intel prepares Pentium E5500 (2.8Ghz) for $74

@ 2009/12/22
So it's clocked at 2.8GHz has an 800MHz FSB, 2MB of cache, naturally two cores and 65W TDP. Intel has one fairly similar product called E6300 and this CPU has the same 2.8GHz frequency and the only real difference is that E6300 supports FSB1066.

They already messed it up with the Core i7 980X Extreme, why not all the rest...

You can clearly see by looking at the product name how familiar these CPU's are... NOT!
