Haswell vs. Broadwell: Celeron 2957U 1.4GHz vs. Celeron 3215U 1.7GHz...

[waltchan]

Any changes in terms of performance and graphics speed? Just received my new Lenovo B50-80 15.6" for less than $180, the only Broadwell Celeron 15.6" notebook out there. Right now, I'm using a Dell Haswell Celeron 2957U.

What kind of graphics Broadwell use?

It only gets benefits on the clock speed. So, is a decent change, but wait for the Skylake U celeron based laptops
Celeron 3955U 2 Cores/2 Threads 2.00 GHz

Sounds like to me Broadwell Celerons improved dramatically on single-thread speed. Previously 1.4GHz in Haswell, now it's up at 1.7GHz with newer architecture and smaller die.

I'd say it's not worth moving up. At least you're not using BayTrail/Braswell!
