14 DAY TRIAL // Introduced at the start of the month, the Sandy Bridge processor architecture will make its way into even lower price ranges as Intel plans to release at least two mobile Celeron processors that are going to be used in entry-level laptops and other low-power computers.
The CPUs were first listed by the PCGamesHardware website, after a lot of digging CPU-World managing to find additional information about these new Sandy Bridge chips.
Starting with the more powerful of the two, the Celeron B810 features dual processing cores that are run at 1.6GHz as well as 2MB of shared L3 cache memory.
The processor will be manufactured in a micro-PGA package, is compatible with socket G2 mainboards, and Fujitsu plans to use it into a wide range of products, including the A531, AH531, E751, P701, S751, and S761 Lifebook laptops and the Fujitsu Esprimo Q900 desktop PC.
Moving to the slower Celeron 847, this processor is developed to be installed in energy efficient computing devices as it is part of Intel's ULV (ultra low-voltage) lineup, its TDP being set at just 18W.
Just like the B810, Intel has endowed the 847 with dual computing cores as well as 2MB of L3 cache memory, although its operating frequency has been set at a rather low 1.1GHz.
Sadly, details regarding the features supported by the two chips are not available at the moment, but judging from the way Intel designed the Westemere-based Celerons, it’s almost certain that technologies like Hyper-Threading or Turbo Boost, together with the AES and AVX instruction sets, won't make it to the list.
Intel seems really determined to move all its processor families to the Sandy Bridge architecture as the previous week details emerged about the company's plans to release a line of LGA 1155 Pentium processors that ship for as low as $64.
