Last week, we covered Intel's plans to introduce dual-core
Celeron processors specifically aimed at the $34-$59 price
segment. The logical result of that announcement comes today
from a Digitimes article stating that Intel will begin phasing
out single-CPU production in the first quarter of 2008. The new
dual-core E1200 Celeron (1.6GHz, 512K of unified L2 cache) will
debut with a $53 price point in 1K quantities. For the moment,
Intel is reserving its 45nm process technology for its
mainstream and higher-end products—the E1000 Celeron series
will be built on 65nm Conroe technology.
[...]
It is worth noting that a few week ago Apple stopped making single
processor computers (though they still do make single processor).

And it is that way today. We are tricked by hope into starting
companies, beginning books, immigrating to this country and investing
in telecom networks. The challenges turn out to be tougher than we
imagined. Our excessive optimism is exposed. New skills are demanded.
But nothing important was ever begun in a prudential frame of mind.
