Supports ECC! Might get one for my file server.

Does it support AVX2?

 

[NTMBK]

No AVX2, or even AVX1. It's like Intel want to delay the spread of AVX2.

Yeah, doesn't make any sense. At least give us avx2 and take virtualization if have to take something.

 

[JDG1980]

The G1820T would be a good choice for an inexpensive "business-oriented" PC. Low power, and with 2 cores it should be enough for Office/web multitasking.

 

[Jimzz]

Yea only i3 and above support AVX.

Can get a cheap AMD chip or go i3+ for AVX.

 

[SPBHM]

$42 is pretty impressive, great amount of performance for the money, good to see Intel did not kill their cheap CPUs based on "big cores" with the release of "bay trail"


I don't see AVX as a great loss for these CPUs, I think even quic sync would be preferable, or better than anything unlocked multiplier or bclk straps

The problem is AVX adoption. Does Intel want it to be ubiquitous or not? Seems like they don't want it to spread.

Unless if they don't want to bother with validating it to cut costs or it was validated but failed....one or the other, but only the insiders would know...

 

[JoeRambo]

Probably productization and not wanting to sell 60Gflops for 42$ ?

 

[daveybrat]

Damn Newegg, talk about price gouging. Why buy a Haswell Celeron 2.7GHz for $59.99 when you can get the G3220 Haswell 3.0GHz for $62.00 from Amazon??

[lyssword]

yeah, srry tjhere is no point of butying celeron 2.7 with 2mb when u can buy 3220 with 3mb cache +300 mhz for same price almost

 

[nwo]

I just bought a G1620 two days ago from MC for ~$35+ tax. I'm happy with my purchase considering I already had a Z77 and Z87s are still somewhat overpriced. I sure as hell am not going to pay nearly double for the exact same clock speed just because it's a haswell

Any benchmarks comparing the new Celerons to the old ones?

AVX is so utterly integral to the FPU that I can't really picture a defect that would break AVX[1/2] without also breaking the FPU entirely. Certainly not a defect common enough to justify disabling it for the entire Pentium and Celeron line!

The Celeron is 47$ on Amazon

[nwo]

The Celeron is 45$ on Amazon

You forgot to add in nearly 10 bucks for rip off shipping :\

Yep, its artificial to somehow make a segmentation excuse.

That does not include shipping. It's about $54.

Nm, I see.

 

[nwo]

I assume the same applies to the Pentium in the context.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?tag=anan06-20

That Pentium is eligible for Amazon Prime free shipping which means it should also ship for free with standard shipping even if you do not have prime since it is over $25.

Pentium is sold by amazon.com

New celerons are not sold by amazon.com. Third party sellers often bait customers with low prices and high shipping.

 

[ShintaiDK]

G1820 is already down to 41$ on geishalz.at without VAT.

Uff.

 

[piasabird]

They should just sell this soldered to a cheap motheboard.

It would be like the ultimate insult to desktop CPU purchasers, if Atom ends up getting AVX/AVX2 before Intel's Celeron line.

I don't understand their take on this either. If AVX support in software became commonplace, it would create a strong demand for Intel's Core-derived CPUs. It's almost like they're "sandbagging", and want to give ARM a chance. After all, doesn't ARM have vector extensions too?

 

[Piroko]

Honest opinion, this Celeron is an insult to the Ivy Bridge based Celerons. If you really can't spend more, then save an additional 15€ and stay with s1155 Celerons and Mainboards.
