Celeron Transistor Count

[purplejacket]

How many transistors do the Celeron chips have? In particular, I have a computer with the N2840 Celeron and would like to know about this one. I am gobsmacked that I can't seem to find this information anywhere on the internet. Is it some kind of state secret?

960 million

Pretty sure it's < 1 billion.

Transistor count is pretty useless for judging performance tho..

I was going to guess 3

GAO -- can you give me a link or other corroboration for that number?

 

[purplejacket]

Burpo -- yes, I know, e.g.: http://www.extremetech.com/computin...unts-theyre-a-terrible-way-of-comparing-chips

I'm interested more for a sense of perspective than anything else. I like trying to keep comparative numbers in my head, helps me think.
