If you're jonesin' for a low-cost Sandy Bridge processor and aren't put off by the Celeron brand, hang tight, Intel has you covered. The Santa Clara chip giant is reportedly working on a batch of 32nm Celeron chips to ship in the third quarter of 2010.
Details are pretty weak at the moment, but according to Web chatter, there's a good shot these will come with the graphics core enabled. That means you'll be getting a dual-core processor with integrated graphics for as low as $50, the starting price of these upcoming parts.
As it stands, current Celeron parts are still being built around the 45nm Wolfdale architecture and don't include a graphics core.

You say sandy bridge, but it sounds like your describing a clarkdale. 2 cores @32nm and integrated gfx smells of clarkdale. Plus, Sandy Bridge isn't supposed to be out until the end of the year.

As long as you don't intend to game, there's nothing wrong with a Celeron for a HTPC.
