Is this really going to be a worthwhile improvement over a C2Duo/ C2Q that already offer perfectly respectable or better performance at a good price? Can't they just produce a low speed i5 to run an a cheapo P55 mobo? The Intel marketing team is over-thinking the number of market tiers. The i3 segment buys almost entirely on price and barely pays attention to specs, so why bother with this redundancy?
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.

@Marc B
i3 is the new Celeron, i5 is the new Core2 Duo, i7 is the new QX/Xeon.
