Towards what kind of buyer are these directed? Hopefully a frugal one like me

Well, the Celeron might be targeted at the buyer with less cash. But certainly, the 780 and 778 are targeted at the business and high-end users.

These are an excellent alternative to the power hungry P4, and performance is top notch. Esp in a desktop rig.
