From what I've read, intel is ending the Pentium/Celeron once for all and making its way for i7/i5/i3 with i7 9xx being fastest (tri-channel DDR3, X58... etc), i7 8xx/i5 being mainstream (dual channel DDR3, P55) and i3 as the budget (think it as the old Celeron, just it's now called i3)
And we really need AMD to push something out fast... for intel to be pushing all the above classes with different CPU socket is just nuts
