celeron

but can it play Crysis I bet it can't!!!

But, I heard the Z-series can :D

There was a socket 1156 Clarkdale based Celeron. There will also be socket 1155 Sandy Bridge based Celerons out towards the end of this year.

yeah although celeron still exist. its name aint heard recently since the booming of intel i series and atom processor

This is what the Pentium is for these days. Why continue the Celeron?

How does it perform compared to the N550 which uses half the power and costs just over half?

seronxbut can it play Crysis I bet it can't!!

better watch your mouth if i was you. I heard btarunr hands out custom infractions to people who ask that same question.

Performance plz thx. Want to know what this is based on too, I have a feeling that its a gimped i3 Sandy Bridge with no HT.

yea, i wonder how this'll fair against AMD's T-APU line. i mean 17watts compared to 4.5, plus a better GPU in the AMD chip. Personally thinking this'll suck...

Why care about the name? Does the name somehow effect performance some way that I'm not aware of?

Of course it does :nutkick: Have you seen a Processor with "Pentium" outgunning a processor with "Core i3" before? No? That is what I thought too. Obviously names matter. :roll:

I see Red_machine's point though, Intel just need the Core iX names rather than still cling on the Pentium and Celeron. Just call them i1 for simplicity.

I agree. I think they should just drop all their past model names now.

I would like to see a SOCKETED version of this for my ITX builds.

$137?!??

It should exist in mobo+chip package like Brazos

Laptop Processors are always a cut more expensive.

personally looking at the better GPUs AMD offers and probably better CPUs in the APU too, also the price thingy, these will probably suck.

hell i forgot AMD consumes lesser power too :D

i hope angry birds works okay here, i was playing it on an i3 laptop, used alt+F4 and then had to restart it LOL.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could take a G530 and underclock/undervolt it to pretty damn close to 17w.

a_umpyea, i wonder how this'll fair against AMD's T-APU line. i mean 17watts compared to 4.5, plus a better GPU in the AMD chip. Personally thinking this'll suck...

I can't help to agree. It would have to perform much better to be truly competitive at that wattage/price verses a processor at a similar price range that contains a reasonable gpu.

Problem is this is Intel graphics we are talking about here. No competition for Bobcat.

mastrdrverProblem is this is Intel graphics we are talking about here. No competition for Bobcat.

Intel graphics is fine for anything named "Farmville" and below. This processor is not aimed at your regular netbook with some multimedia (bobcat or ION), but rather people who wants something a step more powerful than Atom. Will not be surprised if this processor smashes Bobcat into a million pieces in anything other than graphics.

Intel can't even do graphics for Farmville let alone Youtube on this Celeron.

This one doesn't come with the run of the mill GPU like that of the HD2000/3000 order. This one only supports dual displays. Forget Quicksync, 3D, Clear Video, etc. The only thing it has going for it is the 1Ghz ceiling on the GPU clock. Though as Intel has yet to figure out that having a GPU clock all over the place is determinant to performance, I'm not expecting miracles.

You right this is not going in to netbooks, but it is aimed at the ultra portable market which is one that Bobcat still has reign over until you get to the actual i-series processors or some of the faster Pentium Sandy Bridge series processors. I'd even take the new AMD A-series (once the dual cores show up) over any Sandy Bridge based Celeron or Pentium.
