HKEPC had a preview on E4300

I think a Q6320 would make for the best low end by q2 2007.

I barely think that we will be seeing "low end" Quad Cores by Q2. I don't believe quad cores will become mainstream till mid 2008.
I believe this is a mainstream quad core price for a xeon X3210. The same thing as what a Q6400 would be but of a higher bin IMO.

$425 in Q2 2007 is a very good price and AMD will have to beat this with an Agena quad core by Q3 2007. This IMO is the CPU everyone should be looking at for OCing and price to performance.

The "low-end" quad-cores will hurt their performance dual-core sales.
Also Intel should aim to raise the ASPs for their products.

This is true but its good for us consumers. I'll be buying the X3210 unless AMD's Agena's change my mind because the Xeon's should OC better. Why buy a higher cost Q6700 or Q6600 when a OC'ed X3210 can do the same job cheaper.
