If intel released a 4Ghz DC

[Castiel]

Let's say a Sandy Bridge Intel I3 2300 and clocked it at 4Ghz. Do you think it would take away sales from the 2500K?

i dont think so.....

Not at all. Maybe for the uninformed, but there's only so much a dual core can do.

An i3-2120 (3.3 GHz, 3 MB Cache) already costs $150. The 2500K only costs $225.

If Intel released a 4 GHz i3, it would be priced too close to the 2500K to be worthwhile. Enthusiasts (who else would buy an unlocked K series CPU?) would just buy a 2500K and overclock it to 4+ GHz anyway.
