“There are of course a number of different Core 2 Duo,
Core 2 Quad, and Core 2 Extreme CPUs on the market, but beyond that
Intel’s Celeron family does still exist. Most computer enthusiasts
simply write off the Celeron products as being too slow, but among
the newer Celeron parts there are even some dual-core processors.
For a forthcoming article we had picked up an Intel Celeron E1400
for looking at the Linux video decoding performance on a slow
system (similar to our HD Video Playback With A $20 CPU & $30
GPU On Linux article), but as we have never published performance
results for a dual-core Celeron on Linux, we have decided to get
those numbers out there today for those that are
interested.”
