Intel Celeron® A, 2.0 GHz (BX80532RC2000B) Retail Processor

Pros: Affordable upgrade. Works in 440BX chipsets. Near 1GHz clock.
Cons: Consider for upgrade ONLY. Complete overhaulers advised!

(Disclaimer: This review assumes that the reader has an understanding of CPUs and the current computer industry as a whole.)

Yes, the Celerons are still alive and kicking, thanks to AMD and their bargin-basement performance CPUs, the Durons....

Pros: Increased performance
Cons: Moisture causing damage to hardware

Some of us overclockers have resorted to another type of cooling system, which consists of an electrically powered, active-cooling pad/heat sink mounted on the CPU. Known as a peltier cooler, the unit utilizes a heat-pump transfer method of cooling the...

Pros: VERY Overclockable
Cons: Not as fast as the PIII

Celeron II – Overview
The new Celerons (Celeron II) are essentially a Pentium III with half of the L2 Cache disabled. Like the PIII, the new Celerons even include Intel’s SSE instructions. This can really speed up applications/games that...

Pros: Easy to install, solid, fast performance
Cons: None at this time...

Disclaimer:this review is intended for computer layman who have a very good understanding of the terms used throughout this review, and a broad understanding of processor technology.

Chug, chug, chug, puff, puff, puff, crash!...

Pros: PRICE! Full speed cache, combined with a "softjumper" board this is childs play to overclock
Cons: No nifty black case to strap a great cooler on, smart people are snapping em up, making the 300+ series diffcult to get,By the book techs will look upon you with scorn , even though they have a tortured Celeron of their own at home.

Yep, there's a skeleton in the Intel closet and it's the Celeron line. Dubbed "seconds" by those who despise the success of the Intel juggernaut, the little Celeron, disrespected by almost-techs everywhere, is a speed freak's dream.

...

Pros: Good performance, bargain price
Cons: No SSE extensions

Originally, I was going to wait for a Processor section on Epinions before writing a review, but after reading a very confused, and inaccurate review of the Celeron, I felt it necessary to write a counter Epinion to set the record straight. To be...

Pros: You are paying cheap and getting cheap. Left overs...
Cons: Its recycled, a chip that couldn't cut the mustard in the first place.

Do you like Left Over Turkey from Thanksgiving, Sure it might be good, but its not Quite as good (in my epinion not nearly as good) as that first fresh slice of meat coming off a freshly cooked bird.

The Celeron is Left Over. Its the left...

Pros: Bargain price, good performance, great overclockability if you choose the right one
Cons: requires some knowledge

Will the Celeron you pick up be an "overclocking wonder", or will you be stuck at stock clock speed? (shudder) The Celeron is well renowned among the world of hardware tweakers for it excellent overclockability. But although the potential is...

Pros: Cheap, Fast, Cost/Performance EXCELLENT
Cons: 66mhz FSB by default,

The Intel Celeron Processor, designed by Intel to expand its presence into the sub $1000 pc market. The celeron processor at its current speeds, varying from 300 to 733, is probably one of the best investments any person or individual could make for the...

Pros: Extreme overclockability, good value
Cons: none

Over the years the Celeron has been a very overclocker friendly chip. The original cacheless 266 & 300 could be run well above standard clockspeed. (The 266 was the chip of choice, it could hit 448MHz 112MHz FSB x 4.0 clock, easily). The...

Pros: Affordable, retail box readily available and doesn't require specialty hardware, such as 300W PS.
Cons: Dated architecture, outdated technology, slow and not intended for RAM intensive apps.

The Intel Celeron processor, basically a stripped Pentium 3 is a value processor designed for those who bear value in mind for their computers. Although it's a reliable processor, but I really can't recommend it if people are looking for even a greater...

Pros: cheap, adequate for most home users, some can be overclocked
Cons: small cache, significantly worse performance than Pentium IIIs and Athlons for games

If you are looking for a low-cost system that will offer you enough performance to comfortable use productivity applications, than you probably want a system built with the Celeron processor. The Celeron is at the low-end of the Intel product line and...

Pros: Compatability
Cons: Slow compared to AMD, price

I have been a long time supporter of Intel processors. While at the high end (ie. Pentium 4) Intel has finally pulled ahead of it's competitor AMD, with their 1.5GHz processor. But unfortunately Intel is falling farther and farther behind on the...

Pros: Overclockable, Cheap,Still supported by Intel
Cons: No SSE, Less cache.

The details of this chip have been nicely covered by the other reviews by Stevelarrison, Superdoo, and Diversityink. I just felt I necessary to throw in my two cents on the Celey as well as the chip industry in general. There are so many silly names...

Pros: Quality of Intel, cheaper version of processor from Intel.
Cons: Slow clock speed progress, same architecture from Pentium.

For full retail pc customers (beginner's level), Celeron is always seen installed in very cheap systems with a price which can just fit nicely into the insanely low budget of every poor student who desperately desire a PC system. Then, it is the clock...
