Intel prepping lower-end Core 2 Quad

As a result of today's price cuts, Intel's quad-core processors are more affordable than ever. But as inexpensive as they've become, they still haven't reached the sub-$150 mark. Tech Connect magazine believes that's about to change though. The site claims that Intel is putting the finishing touches on a Core 2 Quad Q7500 part.

Clocked at 2.6GHz and built on Intel's 45-nm manufacturing process, the chip reportedly will sit on Intel's 800MHz FSB with just 2MB of L2 cache. The CPU is expected to sell for less than $150 and a TDP of 65W.
