Hi,

As the title explains, I would like some help regarding the difference between the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5800 3.20GHz and the Intel Celeron 1037u 1.80GHz (dual-core).

More info:
I own the Pentium E5800 3.20GHz (year 2010) & I want to buy another one to use it for watching HD 1080p & 4K videos and maybe to browse the web with Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
My option is that I can ONLY buy it directly from a local shop (no internet shopping), & the Celeron 1037u seems to be the best available CPU (a bit old 2014).
So I would like to know beforehand how the Celeron 1037u performs to see whether it's good enough to run what I want.


I appreciate any help... 😀

if you want To Perform Video Editing / Watch 4K Videos and stuff that's related to Video/Images , The Celeron will suit you
if you're A Gamer , and want to play Med settings Games , The Pentium Will suit you .

Overall , I Feel the Celeron is better than Pentium .

PS : The Celeron U Series Are for laptop , You can't really buy them .
The Pentium E5800 is clocked almost twice as high... I expect it'll have an edge in performance over the Celeron, but not as much of one as you might expect.

HOWEVER, the Celeron has hardware acceleration (via the integrated GPU) for a lot of common (but not all) video formats, meaning the ones that are supported will be smooth regardless of the CPU's general performance.

You might want to read about what the iGPU is capable of here:

And maybe hit up google to see what isn't.
 
Thanks for the reply.
The article in the link you provided talk about the i7-3770K, something VERY HIGH compared to my two actual CPU(s). So the information & benchmarks may give false hopes. The i7-3770K comes with an Intel HD 4000 while the Celeron 1037u has the Intel HD Graphic, that can be considered primitive compared to the first one since it's worse then the Intel HD 2000.

Googling a bit, I found at Intel website LINK some useful informations such as "Intel® Clear Video HD Technology" not supported... this makes me wonder how the video view will be without that technology?

Earlier from PassMark, the difference isn't that much between the two E5800 (1904) & 1037u (1744)

And at CPUBOSS, LINK I compared the E5700 (since the E5800 isn't available there)(& the E5800 is slightly better then the E5700) with the 1037u. the site gives the Celeron 1037u 7.7 while gives the E5700 only 5.5. Most of the marks goes clearly for the Celeron, but CPUBoss recommends the Intel Pentium E5700 based on its performance and single-core performance. A bit confusing!!!???

Somehow I like the fact that the 1037u supports up to 32GB of RAM, 25.6 GB/s of bandwidth & that it does come with some good features (such as SSE4, SSE4.1 & SSE4.2).

Any more help?
 
I'm not really sure if I understood correctly what you're looking for, but the 1037U is a laptop CPU as far I know. I could be wrong though.

I understand you already have an E5800, so are you looking into buying another E5800 or a 1037U? Because it's going to be pretty hard finding a used E5800.
To answer the question in the tile, then I would say the E5800 is better, since it can be overclocked, although it consumes much more power and its older, but there are so many better alternatives to these CPUs these days that I wouldn't get any of those.
 

Thanks for the reply.

And yes, I found the 1037u in a laptop. But I'm not planing to buy another E5800 (despite the fact that it's still available at Amazon), I'm just thinking about buying the 1037u.
And I know that the E5800 is better regarding CPU speed 3.20GHz, and it can be overclocked to 3.80GHz or even 4.20GHz on some websites & it's a bit old. But at the same time the 1037u is newer & has some more features.

And for sure there are many more better alternatives out there in the market, and my original pick was an i7-6700HQ for a laptop or an i7-6700K for a desktop, but, unfortunately, something come up and spent some of my savings so decided to buy a cheaper laptop while re-saving again. And as I said in my previous post, my only option is to buy locally.

Now, my actual concern is whether I can tell the difference while working between the two CPU (E5800 & 1037u)?
With other words: put yourself in my shoes and tell me whether the performance drop is much noticeable? such as lagging, freezing... etc. Or is it just a slightly drop in performances & may not be noticed with everyday's use?

note:
The E5800 computer is equipped with 3GB of RAM, while the 1037u computer is equipped with 4 or 8GB of RAM.

The 3770K is certainly a different class of chip than the Celeron, and it has a bigger iGPU, but the important part is that the Celeron's iGPU has most of the same features. It's capable of offloading the same types of work from the CPU.

I expect the Celeron will be an alright choice; I have a Haswell Celeron @ 1.8ghz (1 generation newer) in a laptop, and while it's a hair slow at times in Chrome when I have a bunch of tabs open (possibly RAM limited though), I haven't found anything that has been unpleasant or unusable on it.
 


Thanks for the reply.
The new computer I want to buy will be used specifically for playing videos, images editing related & surfing the web.
As for gaming, I'm not into recent games and even if I want to play I'm sure the Intel HD Graphics will be enough to run my old games such as AudioSuft.
And yes the Celeron 1037u is in a laptop.
 


Thanks for the reply.
Chrome is a RAM eater, as far as I know, It consumes the resources faster. So I use Firefox when I multi-tab.
Could you please tell me about how much RAM does your Haswell Celeron @ 1.8ghz is using? just to have an idea.
 


Thanks for the reply.
I see your point.
Personally, I think computers that come with 2GB of RAM doesn't seems enough for today's daily usage. especially when using 2 or more applications simultaneously.
Luckily, the laptop (that's equipped with the 1037u CPU) that I'm planing to buy support up to 8GB of DDR3L LINK. Seems enough to me.

And apparently, the 1037u & it's HD Graphics is enough to run Resident Evil Revelations LINK with good FPs. Interesting. So I expect it to run even my old 3D games. 😀
 


Thanks for the reply.
Are you using the same 1037u CPU?
 


Thanks for the reply.
& thank you for your suggestion. I guess you are right.

The Intel 1037u CPU with it's Intel HD 2500 Graphics may not be a good choice for gaming, but it's supposed to be good enough to play 4K videos as well as running 3D applications better than my actual Intel G33/G31Express Chipset Family.
