Scumbria, I don't think that's right. The issue is that Celeron is actually better than Timna and has dropped in price to the point that it is cheaper than Timna. "The prices on other Intel chips such as Celeron have fallen enough that PC makers don't need Timna anymore, he said. ``It just doesn't make sense to continue,'' Sullivan said. "Intel doesn't expect any financial impact from the decision to cancel Timna because PC makers will replace the chip with other Intel gear, he said. Timna was expected to cost $70 each, and low- end desktop Celerons sell for $69."
