14 DAY TRIAL // Intel has just expanded its Sandy Bridge processor portfolio with the addition of a new Celeron ultra-low voltage chip that is targeting ultrathin laptops and other low-power mobile computers, dubbed the Celeron M 787.
This CPU was spotted for the first time at the end of June together with the Celeron M 857, which has started selling just two weeks ago.
Intel has designed the 787 so that it would replace the previous 45nm Celeron 763, built around the Penryn-3M core.
Just like its predecessor, the new Intel CPU sports a single computing core, which this time is clocked at 1.3GHz, but it also includes an on-board dual-channel DDR3-1333 memory controller and an integrated GPU.
This has a base frequency of 350MHz and a maximum Turbo clock speed of 950MHz, but it supports only basic feature set dropping even ClearVideo support, not to mention more advanced technologies such as Quick Sync or InTru3D.
In addition to the single processing core, the Celeron M 787 also sports 1MB of Level 3 cache. Its TDP is set at 17W.
As it’s the case with all the other Sandy Bridge-based Celeron processors launched by Intel, the 857 also lacks support for some of the more advanced technologies found inside higher-performing second-generation Core processors like Turbo Boost or HyperThreading.
Pricing for the Celeron M 787 has been set at the same $107 US, as that of the Celeron 763 it is meant to replace.
Intel's current Sandy Bridge Celeron processor lineup comprises seven models, but more parts are expected to arrive in the coming months.
In related new, we recently uncovered that Intel is working on releasing a new series of mobile Core i7 processors that will increase the speed of the company's current offering all the way up to 2.7GHz. (via TCMagazine)
