[citation][nom]lauxenburg[/nom]G1101? I swore I saw that on Intel Ark....I could have been high, but I swear I saw a 32nm Celeron...[/citation]
The G1101 (2M Cache, 2.26 GHz, dual-core) is a low end/low power server chip for the LGA 1165. New Egg has systems right now. It looks like they also have the P1053 for 1366 too.

The E3xxx's are really cool running, make great HTPC chips. They are more or less updates of the E2xxx Conroes.

I think the current batch of Celerons make a good bottom for modern computing. My Atom N450 can't handle HD flash while my E3300 has no problem.
 
the current celeron lineup is freaking awesome. (for thos who think im crazy check out the e3000 series reviews on newegg) I have build 3 of these systems (E3300) and have been very impressed with the price: performance ratio. These lil guys can be overclocked up to 4ghz. I had two systems stable at 3.6ghz. Get a decent GPU and you have yourself a killer budget gamer. Don't believe me? build one...its awesome. I can't wait to play around with the 32nm lineup.
 
[citation][nom]WarraWarra[/nom]Why do they have about 1200+ models of cpu's instead of 3 or 6 per market segment ?They should spend time mass producing usable cpu's instead like the 12 and 24 cores since the mid 1990's and stop manipulating the market / price fixing with old junk like this.My mobile phone already has a 1ghz cpu in it so how long can they keep this celerons going ? Tomorrows comments:O mister your new Intel celeron pc is lamer / weaker than your 2 year old mobile phone ?? LMAODamn this sounds like Apple and their first / current Intel crap tops "overpriced laptops".My satellite receiver box might still use something old like a 500mhz or 800mhz celeron cpu (media centre pc 8 years old pc).It is obvious they are trying to squeeze the last bit of life out of stuff that should not work anymore.Maybe if they stop changing the cpu socket 20 times in 1 year they could become more productive / competitive seeing very few can afford to spend $700-$900 for i3/i5/i7 6core box that barely has 3% to 5% performance increase over what they have had for the last 3 years "q9550".[/citation]

there's so much wrong here i don't know where to start. chronologically, alphebetically, severity of wrongness...


there's a reason chips keep upgrading its called die shrinks for efficiency and speed, addition of cache, betterway of processing threads. do you really think a 2.8 Ghz chip from 4 years ago can compete with a 2.8 in todays market... not a chance.

as for your phone... yes it runs at the same frequency but can't even do a fraction of the calculations of a 1Ghz processor from even a 8-10 year old desktop... the reason they market the useless statictic of ghz instead of operations is so ill informed consumers have a bragging point ... why do you think amd had to initiate P ratings back in the day to show thier lower frequency chips were perfoming more efficiently than intel chips so they had to market them with higher ratings to let ill informed consumers (like yourself) know where thier performance was in line with despipte their lower frequency

as for your claims of 3-5% performance gains in the i3-i5-i7 .... have you read anythign abotu them... and more importantly did you understand what you read? cause i'm here to tell you that if you think you did then you're wrong.

the only reason they are keeping the celeron name is
marketing... should toyota stop calling a tundra a tundra because they put a more efficient engine and redesigned the body.... no cause its a name to a model in thier product line that has evolved with time (and talented engeneering dept) into what it is today. celeron has been thier model for a while and its accepted around because it represents good value in the market and intel doesn't wanna lose that name

in short... intel is upgrading the celeron and thats actually a good thing for people on a budget or who prefer intel chips!

your rant is defeated and proven pointless as having come from the kind of ill informed consumer base that this site itself tries to defeat with benchmakrs and performance graphs... now please go hang your head in shame
 
I just want a full dual-layer dual core p4 with enhanced HT with Mircoprocessing extension. Say putting an Atom on internal devices.
