The pricing has been put by the on-line by PC superstore as $197for i5 in the lower end and $368 for high end i7 processors. Intel’s GM-PC client group confirmed that it will start shipping in Quarter 2 when speaking at Developer forum of Intel.

Though the computing experience might be revolutionised by Intel, the user experience is in the hands of notebook and desktop PC manufacturers.
