Intel Debuts Six New Celeron Mobile Processors
Intel has yesterday updated its processor offer, adding no less than six new models, all Celerons and all targeting mobile devices. This fresh batch is of ultra-low voltage variety and it includes two chips based on the Haswell architecture, the Celeron 2981U and 2957U, and four on the Silvermont architecture (and part of the Bay Trail-M line-up), the Celeron N2920, N2820, N2815 and N2806.
Frequency-wise, the processors go from 1.40 GHz to 2.13 GHz, but they don't really vary in terms of pricing as five of them cost $132, while only the Celeron 2981U goes for $137. More details in the table below.

Also, this is the 1st time i have seen a quad core celeron.
Today's celerons aren't the same "brand" and class of celerons that there used to be between Celeron and P4/C2 products.
Plus HT, a whooping 24 cores....
AIDA64 v3.20, Core 2 Extreme X6800 "Conroe" vs. Atom Z3770 "Bay Trail-T". Both CPUs are at stock clock settings, both running 32-bit Windows (since the Z3770 currently doesn't support running 64-bit Windows).
Note that Core 2 Extreme X6800 has a 75W TDP, while the Atom Z3770 uses a max. TDP of 5W while pushing Turbo Boost to its maximum rate. Average TDP for Z3770 is around 3 to 4W.
Celerons are quite nice. I'm using a Celeron right now, and I honestly would not make use of more power. The stock cooler SUCKS though, it loads at +50C and whines like a baby whirlwind. It's not running fast, and it doesn't rattle, it just emitts this high pitcted noise that cuts through everything. And it's not the case. It's that fan. I HATE IT.
