How is someone going to "CONFIRM TO BE RELEASED IN APRIL" unless they work for Intel? All people can go on are the press releases etc.

Intel are making buttloads of money off the E6300 and E6400, they will try to wait for as long as possible before releasing the E6320 and E6420.

Why? Well, the 6300 and 6400 have (physically) 4Mb of cache onboard, it's just that half of it is disabled. Currently, any chips which come off the production line with some broken cache memory can have half of it disabled and be sold as 6300/6400. With the 6320 and 6420 they won't have this option.

Intel will want to wait as long as possible to get their yields as good as possible before they release.
