Core i5 time?

Intel updated its price list over the weekend and it focused on cutting prices within pretty much all its desktop CPU families bar the latest - Core i7.
The cuts are mainly of the order of 13-14 percent and affected products are within the Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Pentium and Celeron families.
This move raises the possibility that we'll be seeing the new Lynnfield Core i5 processors a fair bit earlier than expected, as well as the advertised wholesale re-brand of its processor naming scheme.
Here are all the affected products and their new prices:
| Processor | Old price ($) | New price ($) | Decrease (%) |
| Q9400 | 213 | 183 | 14 |
| Q9300 | 213 | 183 | 14 |
| Q8400 | 183 | 163 | 11 |
| Q8300 | 183 | 163 | 11 |
| Q9400S | 277 | 245 | 12 |
| Q8400S | 245 | 213 | 13 |
| E7500 | 133 | 113 | 15 |
| E6300 | 84 | 81 | 4 |
| E5400 | 84 | 74 | 12 |
| E5300 | 74 | 64 | 14 |
| E1500 | 53 | 43 | 19 |
