Tiger Direct has it on sale through June 4, 2009 for $129.
The latest and best processor for computers would be one of Intel's i7 processors, dependent on clock speeds the amount of core the price will vary, but for an i7 3370k the price is about £223 or $340
The original Intel Celeron processor was not as popular as expected because it lacked the level 2 cache to help reduce the price of the processor. With no level 2 cache, the processor acted much slower than the competitor processors.
Intel is constantly developing new products at different levels. Depending upon the speed and capacity of the processor you desire, the price can vary widely. 2013 prices for Intel processors vary from 50 - 1,000 dollars.
There are many Netbooks in the market which are good at price list. However, I would advise the Intel Next-Generation Atom Netbook Processor, because the price of the Intel netbooks is pretty low as 10K to 15K approx.
Atom is a small power efficient processor for netbooks. This is usefull for browsing net and performing casual office tasks, but not a gaming processor. The Intel atom processor is the Intel's second processor (CPU) designed specifically for "Net Books". It is based on an entirely new micro architecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel Core 2 Duo compatibility. It supports for multiple threads. It will be the Intel's smallest and lowest power processor. It will be manufactured on Intel's 45nm process technology. Recently, I'd purchased an Intel atom based processors Netbook because it is a great little piece of technology of Intel, lightweight and easy to take anywhere, and is much lesser price as compare with Laptop and with a great battery life.
As of May 2013 the fastest computer processor which was commercially available was the Intel Core i3970X. Although, this came with a large price tag of $1100.
Depends on the person you ask and what your price to performance ratio is. Amd is the cheaper of the two compared to intel. Amd has good cpus for less than comparable Intel cpus. If money is not to much of a problem then Intel will be your best bet.
Whenever you ask if something is fast, you must always have a point of reference. Is a bicycle fast? Is a Ferrari fast? Is the Concorde jet fast? Is light fast? Is an AMD processor the fastest type of processor available? No. Is an AMD processor faster than an Intel processor of the same price? Probably. Is an AMD 5x86 faster than an Intel Xeon? Heck, no! Is an AMD Phenom faster than a Pentium 4? Yes.
Intel CPU processors have a very stable price, they don't differ a lot from the CPU processors of AMD but AMD has more discount offers on it's CPU processors which in some occassions give them a better cost to performance ratio. In other words, buying an AMD processor with a good discount might just beat the Intel CPU processor cost to performance ratio.
I'm unable to provide real-time data or specific market information, including yesterday's closing price for Intel. For the latest stock prices, I recommend checking financial news websites, stock market apps, or the official stock exchange listings.

The Celeron D is a single core processor because that is how Intel designed it.Sounds trite, but that is the truth. Each processor chip is designed to meet a particular performance / price ratio, and that is how the Celeron D turned out. Simple, eh?
