Although Intel said has cancelled Pentium E1000 single core series, but Intel continued by launching Celeron 400 series, like Intel Celeron 430 1.8 GHz and Intel Celeron 440 2.0 GHz series.
This Intel Celeron 400 series had single core only and L2 cache memory only 512 KB. The different with the previous intel celeron which only had FSB 533, the intel celeron 400 series had FSB 800 that made it resemble Pentium E2100 and Core 2 Duo E4000an series. As for the range of price will be less than 60 US dollar.
Intel Celeron 400 series will be faced with AMD single core processor that is Sempron and AMD 64. Look at the early benchmark that apparently promising enough.
Intel Celeron 440 showed strength in multimedia that overcame AMD Athlon 64 3500+, in fact the actually speed is 200 MHz lower. Intel Celeron 400 also won on few other benchmarks like Super PI, PCMark05 and SiSoft Sandra 2007. Intel Celeron 400 Series gaming benchmark also showed quite pleasing results where results not be stuck to far with Athlon 64 3500+.
The launching Schedule planned in Q3 2007 with price 59 US dollar for 440 series and 49 US dollar for the 430 series.
Looks like the Celeron 440 is a competitor with that A64 3500+, but last I checked the Intel was $15 more expensive, which is the same price as the A64 4000+.
Doesn’t really make much difference, though…
I enjoy both processor manufacturers and their prices for the low-end and mid-range segment.
