In the highly detailed charts there's wild talk of a low-powered "S" version of Core i5 that lowers the chip from 95W to 82W, a new Core i3 line that strips out the Turbo Boost technology and dips into budget-priced territory, and word that at the time of this roadmap at least the Core i9 "Gulftown" chip isn't slated for until Q2 of next year.

The low powered 'S' series are not new to the Core i series. its also available in the Core 2 Quads. like Q9550s, 9400s, 8400s etc.
These S series have the TDP down from 95w to 65watts.

here's the review from AnandTech: AnandTech: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S: A New 65W Quad-Core

The price premium for these new S-parts is huge. The Q9550S costs $103 more than the non-S, the Q9400S will set you back another $107 and the Q8200S is the most affordable with only an $82 premium. Note that in the case of the Q9550S and Q9400S you're actually more expensive than the entry level Core i7-920.

Intel achieves these lower TDPs by running at a lower core voltage. With a mature enough manufacturing process, which Intel’s 45nm process is, it’s quite possible to produce CPUs that run much cooler than average and on a lower voltage. CPU power varies with the square of the voltage, so any savings in voltage can result in a non-linear decrease in power consumption.

Don’t get too excited however. If you remember back to our review of the 9350e/9150e we found that the decrease in power wasn’t worth the added price. Even Intel has come forward and told us that these are primarily OEM parts and not intended for the high volume enthusiast community. With Intel being honest in its intended purpose for these S-class CPUs we don’t really have to do much to keep them honest, we just need to confirm the findings

Intel core i3 will succeed only if mobo prices are down to 5k.

AMD is doomed , implies consumers are doomed due to monopoly of intel.

No more price cuts until AMD hits back INTEL
 
just to add; "S" series is not worth the money because if u undervolt your Q9550 (for e.g) it will become Q9550S

the only advantage of S series is that its factory undervolt...

Intel will never do aggresively pricing again what they did with conroe, they are no longer desperate like they were before launching conroes (just my thought)

Our hopes lies with Thurban ( 6 core AMD ) if it is priced similar to core i5 , core i7 ( too good a dream to come true , i know ) then maybe Intel may force price cuts.

If not , then no price cuts from Intel for 2010 atleast.
