14 DAY TRIAL // Usually when a “Trail” central processing unit from Intel gets launched, it becomes part of the Atom series, but there are still more than a few Celeron and Pentium units, like the ones that just came out.
The short version of the story is that Intel has put together three new Bay Trail central processing units, all of them featuring low voltages.
The short version never really provides all the data people might like, though, so we may as well go with the long version too.
To start off, the three new central processing units are described as the “Bay Trail-D” line, where D stands for desktop.
That's similar to how the “M” in “Bay Trail-M” stands for mobile (tablets and laptops, though mostly laptops).
Anyway, there are new CPUs, or rather SoCs (system-on-chip devices) available for sale now, called Celeron J1800, J1900, and Pentium J2900.
The Pentium J29000 is, interestingly enough, the best of the lot, with four cores, 2.41 GHz base clock frequency, 2.67 GHz Turbo Boost support, 2 MB cache, IGP of 688 MHz / 896 MHz Base/Boost clock, 10W TDP and $94 / €94 price.
Celeron J1900 is also a quad-core with 2 MB cache and 10W TDP, but its clock is of 2 / 2.42 GHz, the GPU works at 688 / 854 MHz, and the price is of $82 / €82.
Finally, the Celeron J1800 is a dual-core processor with 1 MB cache, an IGP of 688 / 729 MHz, a 10W TDP, 2.41 GHz / 2.58 GHz clocks, and price of $72 / €72.
All of them support DDR3L-1333 memory and will replace the Pentium J2850, Celeron J1850, and Celeron J1750, respectively.
They probably won't sell via retail much, but they should show up in many HTPCs and other small form factor desktops, maybe even NAS devices and servers.
