Pentium E2XXX series- Notebook only?

[Hotdog453]

I've been following the appearance of the E2XXX series Pentiums as close as I've been able, mostly since, well... I have a lot of Pentium Ds running at my house, and it's summer; thus, it's hot. And the E2XXXs would be cool.

So, here is the question: Are they ever getting launched to the retail scene, in desktops, or are they going to be notebook only?

The most relevant link I have on any information is an xbit article from awhile back: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20061115223825.html

So, anyone know? Will we ever be able to purchase a Core-derivative Pentium for ~80 bucks on Newegg?

The Pentium E2xxx series is for desktops. It's already available in the US and in retail boxes.

There are a few threads already about these chips, one is just a few posts down: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1194376

Reading is not my strong point.

Thanks for the links, heh.
