14 DAY TRIAL // Intel will officially launch the first Haswell central processing units in June, but the full range of processors based on that architecture will take some time to reach the market, and the product introductions will be done in stages.
Desktop Celeron processors based on Haswell, for example, are only expected to make their first steps in the first quarter of 2014.
It is only the change of tides, which has moved emphasis from desktops to notebooks, that made Intel choose to bring the mobile Celerons out sooner, though not by much: Q4 2013.
This is because the Ivy Bridge-powered set has to come and go, having not been released yet, but we digress.
There will be two CPUs in the Ivy Bridge mobile Celeron lineup that will precede the Haswell: Mobile Celeron 1005M, and Mobile Celeron 1017U.
They will replace the Mobile Celeron 1000M and Mobile Celeron 1007U that are already out and about, and have been for a while.
All of them are dual-core chips with 2 MB of cache memory (L3) and Ivy Bridge-class graphics. The TDP (thermal design power) is of 35W for the first two and 17W for the other two.
The upcoming CPUs also share basic technologies, including Intel 64 and Virtualization, and have DDR3-1600 memory controllers.
As for individual performance, the Celeron 1005M is the fastest, with 1.9 GHz clock speed and 650 / 1000 MHz GPU.
For the sake of comparison, the Celeron 1000M whose place it will take is a 1.8 GHz chip with the same other traits. Both are PGA chips, compatible with socket G2.
On that note, Celeron 1017U is a 1.6 GHz processor with 350 / 1000 MHz GPU speed, much like the Celeron 1007U which, though it runs at 1.5 GHz but, again, is otherwise the same. They are BGA chips, unremovable from mainboards.
