This is the smallest amount of L2 cache offered on a Core 2 Quad CPU. Other members of the family incorporate between 6M and 12M of cache. The Core 2 Duo gets a new low price point with the arrival of the E5200. Another 45 nm part, its 2M of L2 cache, 2.50 GHz clock speed and 800MHz FSB equal or exceed the corresponding specs of the E4500 and E4600, yet the $US84 price tag substantially undercuts the $US113 charged for the older processors. By way of contrast, the third new chip pushes up the performance of the Celeron D family. Key specs of the $US53 Celeron D 450 are 512k of L2 cache, 2.20 GHz clock and an 800 MHz FSB, made with the older 65 mn process like other Celeron D processors. The previous top-end model in the family was the $US44 2.00 GHz 440.
