Intel Adds Budget Coffee Lake Celeron and Pentium Gold processors
This week we have seen a plethora of B360 and H370 motherboard reviews as well as some new refresh Coffee Lake processors on the desktop platform. But Intel also introduced a number of new Celeron and Pentium Gold CPUs yesterday, budget Coffee Lake.
In short, added are Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. Pentium Gold processors are dual core based procs with Hyper-Threading (SMT) enabled. Pentium Gold will have four megabytes of L3 cache. You will notice two T-models, these have a lower clock and thus is a more energy-efficient proc opposed to the non-T models. The retail price sits at 64 running up towards 86 USD.
The Celeron CPUs are lacking Hyper-Threading. There is one caveat though, the Celerons only have two megabytes of L3 cache as well as getting lower clocks compared to Pentium Gold. The T-models, here again, are lower clocked and should be slightly more energy-efficient. The suggested retail price sits at a 40 to 50 USD marker for the G4900T, the G4920 is the most expensive of the three with 52 USD.
| Processor | Clock Frequency | Cores/threads | L3 cache | TDP | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pentium Gold G5600 | 3.9 GHz | 2/4 | 4MB | 54W | $86 |
| Pentium Gold G5500 | 3.8 GHz | 2/4 | 4MB | 54W | $75 |
| Pentium Gold G5500T | 3.2 GHz | 2/4 | 4MB | 35W | $75 |
| Pentium Gold G5400 | 3.7 GHz | 2/4 | 4MB | 58W | $64 |
| Pentium Gold G5400T | 3.1 GHz | 2/4 | 4MB | 35W | $64 |
| Celeron G4920 | 3.2 GHz | 2/2 | 2MB | 54W | $52 |
| Celeron G4900 | 3.1 GHz | 2/2 | 2MB | 54W | $42 |
| Celeron G4900T | 2.9 GHz | 2/2 | 2MB | 35W | $42 |

I agree but...We still need somehing like an Overclockable cheep 4/4 thread k model if u will @ $ 95-$100 no more 2 core please!
I dream of the day that Intel kills the Celeron line.... There's really no reason for a 2c/2t processor to exist anymore. At this point, 2c/4t should be the minimum offered by Intel or AMD.

Won't happen anytime soon with the 8350k being $175. What I would like to see, is another Pentium with an unlocked multiplier even at 2c/4t. That'd be pretty cool imo.
