The predecessor processors to
these new arrivals are the Core i5-4300M, i5-4300U, i5-4330M, i5-4350U,
i7-4600M, i7-4800MQ, i7-4850HQ, i7-4900MQ and i7-4930MX respectively.
Contrary to what you might read on other sites the Celeron 2980U is not a new arrival but rather a relaunch with around $30 of price reduction.
The prices range from $107 dollars to a massive $1096. The highest end
of the spectrum, the i7-4940MX, with an unlocked multiplier, 4 Physical
Cores/ 8 Threads, 3.1Ghz Clock Speed and 8 MB Cache. It also has an HD
4600 iGPU. Though common sense would tell you that going from the
i7-4910MQ to the i7-4940M does not justify the $528 Price Increase.
