Report: 2011 will be the Intel Celeron's last hurrah
You must understand that most computer shoppers simply do not care or understand about computer hardware. However, they have been conditioned over the last 20 years to shop by specs alone and the Celeron has always been the chip you get with cheap computers. It doesn’t matter that the chip eventually grew into a capable form. The brand isn’t well-respected like Pentium. Intel could slap a different name on the same chip and as long as it’s marketed correctly, would sell like pancakes.
