Intel expects to launch two Celeron 400-series models next quarter, the
Celeron 440 and 430. These new Celeron models feature 2.0 GHz and 1.8 GHz clock speeds, respectively. The
Conroe-L-based Celeron 400-series has 512KB of L2 cache like the current Cedar Mill based models. Unlike previous generation Celeron models, Intel equips the Celeron 400-series with
an 800 MHz front-side bus, similar to its Pentium E2100 and Core 2 Duo E4000-series. Intel’s
Celeron 400-series will have to take on AMD’s single-core Sempron and Athlon 64 processors. Expect the
Celeron 400-series next quarter for
$59 and
$49 for models 440 and 430, respectively.
Citiraj:
- The Celeron 440 shows its strengths in multimedia benchmarks, beating out the Athlon 64 3500+, despite the 200 MHz frequency advantage of the Athlon. It also beats out the Athlon in benchmarks such as PCMark05, SiSoft Sandra 2007 and Super PI.
- Gaming benchmarks are a tossup, however, the Celeron 400-series stays close to the Athlon 64 3500+.
