Celeron is a family of low-end x86 microprocessors developed by Intel and targets the ultra-cheap PC market. Celeron is the lowest tier x86 family offered by Intel, below Pentium and has significantly lower performance capabilities than the higher-end processors. Introduced in April of 1998, Celeron is Intel's the second longest serving family of processors after Pentium.

Overview

The Celeron is not considered a performance processor, sitting below the Pentium family and well below the Core i3, which is a low-end performance processor. The Celeron is designed for budget and budget only. Accordingly, turbo boost is generally not significant or present, and most Celerons are dual-core only. They also lack helpful features like hyper-threading, and have generally low performance per mhz, resulting in PassMark scores of below 1500 for most models. Nicknamed the "DeCeleron", the Celeron is ok for basic tasks like word processing, light web browsing and email, and editing of low-resolution photos, but very few applications run smoothly - the lag is real! Browsing fancy websites can be quite tricky, and streaming even decent quality video is a lot to ask. As for gaming? Don't even think about it.

Arrandale Core

The Arrandale-based Celeron processors are dual-core processors. These processors had the FSB replaced with Direct Media Interface 1.0. These processors use Socket-G1. They all have the following features:

• Bus: DMI (2.5 GT/s) interface
• TDP: 18, 35 W
• ISA: Everything up to SSSE3 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3)
• Tech: SpeedStep, VT-x, FMA, Flex Memory

Sandy Bridge µarch

Mobile

Announced in late 2010, the first series of mobile Celeron models based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture were introduced in early 2011. In addition to the many architectural changes that improved both performance and power consumption, the integrated graphics is now incorporated into the same monolithic die with all Celeron mobile models having the lowest-end integrated GPU which offers 6 executing units. Models come in either single-core or dual-core versions. Compared to previous generation, the new Sandy Bridge mobile Celeron models now support SSE4.1/SSE4.1 in addition to higher performance. In addition, all models have the following features:

• Bus: DMI 2.0 link to chipset
• TDP: 10 W (ULV), 17 W, 35 W
• ISA: Everything up to SSE4.2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2)
• Tech: SpeedStep, VT-x, FMA, Flex Memory

Desktop

Desktop Kaby Lake-based budget Celeron processors were introduced in early 2017. Those models use standard Socket LGA-1151. While no major new features were introduced, those Kaby Lake Celeron models enjoy a modest performance increase due to their slightly higher clock frequency. Additionally, all models share the following common:

• Dual-core without Hyper-threading, 2 MiB L3$
• Mem: Up to 64 GiB of 2133 MT/s DDR4
• TDP: 51/54 W (SP), 35 W (LP)
• ISA: Everything up to SSE4.2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES)
• Tech: VT-x, VT-d, EPT, SpeedStep (EIST), Software Guard (SGX), Secure Key, Memory Protection (MPX), OS Guard
• GPU: HD Graphics 610 @ 350 MHz with bursts of 0.95-1.05 GHz

Mobile

Mobile Kaby Lake-based budget Celeron processors were introduced in early 2017. Those models use standard Socket BGA-1356. While no major new features were introduced, those Kaby Lake Celeron models enjoy a modest performance increase due to their slightly higher clock frequency. Additionally, all models share the following common:

• TDP: 15 W (With a Configurable TDP-down of 10 W)
• ISA: Everything up to SSE4.2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES)
• Tech: vPro, VT-x, VT-d, TSX, SpeedStep (EIST), Software Guard (SGX), Memory Protection (MPX), OS Guard, Secure Key, Speed Shift, Flex Memory Access, Smart Response Technology, My WiFi Technology
• GPU: HD Graphics 610/615 @ 350 MHz with bursts of 1-1.05 GHz

G4900 Series (Coffee Lake)

Main article: Coffee Lake Microarchitecture

G4900-Series Celerons which are based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture were introduced in early 2018. Those models succeed the previous G3900-series parts and bring a number of enhacements in addition to higher clock frequency for improved performance.

Desktop

Initially released in April 2018, desktop models bring higher performance versus prior generation through support for faster memory data rates and faster clock frequencies. Those models no longer have support for Intel's MPX and OS Guard and although they still use standard Socket LGA-1151, those parts are no longer backwards compatible with earlier 100/200-series chipsets and must be paired with an appropriate 300-series chipset. Additionally, all models share the following common:

• Dual-core without Hyper-threading, 2 MiB L3$
• Mem: Up to 64 GiB of 2400 MT/s DDR4
• TDP: 54 W (SP), 35 W (LP)
• ISA: Everything up to SSE4.2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES)
• Tech: VT-x, VT-d, EPT, SpeedStep (EIST), Software Guard (SGX), Secure Key
• GPU: HD Graphics 610 @ 350 MHz with bursts of 1-1.05 GHz
