It's always worth having a look at Intel's price list on a Monday morning as it tends to introduce changes on Sundays.

Sure enough, the chip giant produced a new price list yesterday, which contained only two changes. These were the arrival of Intel's first dual-core Celeron processors for notebooks.

They are both 65nm parts with 1MB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB and TDP of 35W. The T1600 costs $80 from Intel and has a clock of 1.66GHz, the 1.83GHz T1700 costs $86.

For comparison, the E1400 dual-core Celeron for desktop costs $53, has a clock of 2GHz and a TDP of 65W and the Celeron 575 for notebooks costs $86, has a clock of 2GHz and a TDP of 31W.

Also today, there are reports that Intel has put a 32nm system-on-a-chip successor to Atom on its roadmap for 2010, codenamed Medfield.
