Newegg has received batches of the "Lynnfield" based LGA 1156 Xeon X3440 CPU for $239. The CPU is the cheapest one with Hyper Threading support and will work in P55 based motherboards, albeit clocked at 133MHz less than the non-HT capable Core i5 750.
The 2.66GHz Xeon X3450 is also available but comes priced at a slightly higher $269.
Both these Xeons are lower entry barriers to a quad core processor with Hyper Threading support since the Core i7 860 is selling for around $289.
You can read all about these CPUs in the release article.
