Celerons are great CPUs for basic workstations, I am actually impressed by the multi core ones, though I would spring for a Pentium if I was on a budget. At least you still get to run an intel chipset on a cheap CPU.

i5 37750s are an absolute overkill for low power usage, such as web browsing, word processing, movies, micro-servers, etc.

Actually, the i5s would be terrible for low power usage compare to the ultra-low volted chips.

This would be awesome, so long as the GPU was capable.
 
i have a pentium b970 in my laptop and i have been very impressed with it, i was very sceptical but pentium holds its weight well, i deemed it fit enough to pair an ssd with it. i am guessing an ivy bridge celeron is near equivalent to sandy bridge pentium
 
I'm not sure about this naming convention. The 1.5GHz 1007U to 1.8GHz 1037U makes sense; after all, the third number shows the number of MHz higher than the base model. The 1.8GHz 1000M to 2.1GHz 1020M, however, follows another scheme. It doesn't start at the same point, fair enough, but the third number means something completely different. Having said that, AMD's conventions are hardly any better.
