Intel Celeron 2.2GHz Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-bangs-for-bucks dept.

Detonator 3:16 writes "Black-Ash.net has posted a review of Intels Celeron 2.2GHz Budget CPU; interestingly they have compared it to a common older CPU (PIII-700MHz) to see whether it would be worth using this CPU as an upgrade." Celerons have usually a been a decent processor for the money, and this one looks to continue the trend. It's not the fastest chip ever, but for spending less than $100, it's a good bargain.

      Superior in number you mean? Sure, a billion Indians with nothing else to do but steal jobs?

    Some of us like the option of using stable chipsets that don't crash machines or corrupt data. Sadly, that still isn't an option with AMD processors.

    > why even goof with some budget celeron CPU?

    1. Heat
    2. Stability
    3. Noise (lesser fan required cuz less heat + Intel Retail fans are top quality)

    Maybe because with his Celeron and an Intel motherboard, he can actually use it with whatever peripherals he wants without wondering if it'll make it unstable and crash in the middle of his work.

    Sorry, but Intel reliability is worth the extra performance difference.
