    Celeron….eew.

    But at least it has Windows 7 and not Vista.

    is it a dual core? even if its not still a great deal!!!!!

    • scrimshaw on 07/08/2010 - 15:36

      It's dual core.

      num of Cores 2
      num of Threads 2
      Clock Speed 1.9 GHz
      L2 Cache 1 MB
      FSB Speed 800 MHz

      According to Intel it is dual-core: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37258 . Also 64-bit and 45nm process.

      These Celeron's are based on the Core 2 Duo architecture, much like the Pentium Dual-Cores.

      Not the fastest thing in the world, but more than capable. Check here for benchmarks: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Celeron+Dual-…

      It's actually as fast as a T7600 Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz while using a lot less power. Hell, it even beats the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+ and Intel Core2 Duo E6420 @ 2.13GHz .. certainly not i5/i7 power but enough to handle its own.

        It scores abnormally high for a Celeron CPU. I frequently use that site to look at benchmarks, but I wonder if their tests are actually accurate and representative of real world CPU usage.

          something is not quite right there?? maybe the tests are higher because of the other components like ddr3 ram, faster mobo chipset etc etc …

            @lukelegend: It's an aggregate score of several systems tested (39 to be exact). So we're not looking at 1 really powerful system, it's a combination of several.

            The benchmark is focussed on the CPU itself so faster/more RAM is unlikely to effect it.

            In all honesty, it's not really abnormally high. People still think Celeron is woefully slow model that it used to be. The new Celeron's are based on C2D architecture, they just have lower cache and FSBs.

            However, I pointed out in my OP that it was faster than a C2D T7600. This is correct. Keep in mind the T7600 is a 3 year old CPU, as is the E6420. I'm just pointing out that those are still good CPUs and this Celeron is actually quicker.

            As it is a synthetic benchmark it's difficult to say if it represents real-world usage. However, it is a standard measurement and the easiest way to gauge CPU performance.

    Anyone know what the battery life is like on this?
