Intel ditching Celeron brand - RIP Celeron

Celeron was always synonomous with slow for me. Not suprising that they would want a different label.

I came to say this. Do you think one day Core 2 will be the new pentium?

My guess is they'll drop the 2 and just make it Intel Core. They've had a lot of success with these processors, so it makes sense to bank on that positive connotation.

Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. Intel gave me a very bad taste when they released those trashy northwood celerons.
 
I don't care what it's called, I care about how it performs. The Celeron E3x00 processors are pretty damn impressive for ~$50. They don't match the performance of the Athlon II X2s but some people insist on Intel inside. 😛

If this article is true, and Celeron will be killed with the end of the Core 2 architecture, that leaves an enormous performance gap between dual core Atoms and the Pentiums in Intel's lineup.
 
Celly is gone.

There not going with that name anymore.

the i3 are already branded something else.
 
Well, this has turned out to be a false rumor after all.

"The rumor is not true, Intel has no plan to phase out the Celeron brand in 2011. Intel Celeron processors continue to provide a low-cost computing solution for basic computing needs," wrote Barry Sum, an Intel spokesman in Hong Kong, in an e-mail response to questions.

Remember having a Celeron 600e or think thats what it was that ran 1100mhz+ on air... Of course AMD came along and killed its glory (yea I jumped ship at that point)... 😛

Wife has an MSI laptop with a T3100 dual core Celeron that seems to be a sweet little machine and has excellent battery life... :thumbsup:
 
The article doesn't even make sense to me logically, even if it wasn't debunked by Intel. The Celeron has changed architectures many times while retaining the Celeron name. If Intel did dump the core architecture Celeron in favor of an Atom based CPU, they could still easily name it "Celeron".
