The Intel Celeron G1840 is a budget dual-core processor for desktops. Released in Q2 of 2014, this Haswell based CPU is 10% faster than its Ivy Bridge Celeron predecessors such as the G1630. The G1840 is very similar to the Celeron G1850 and G1830 which were also launched in the first half of 2014, which begs the question from Intel: Why? With its base clock speed of 2.8 GHz, the G1840 scores an average effective speed of 73 which is ample for basic processing needs. The G1840 has a TDP of just 53 Watts, so it's a low power, low heat and therefore low cost processor. Coupled with an SSD and a decent graphics card the G1840 will give a pretty good user experience, but the 100 MHz faster and similarly priced G1850 is a better option. [Nov '14 CPUPro]

The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X isn't due for release until next week but two of our users have already submitted benchmarks. Comparing the quad and single core scores from our samples shows a relative 4.3% boost on the single core score so it’s possible that turbo wasn’t fully engaged (12% turbo boost expected). These preliminary results are seriously impressive as they put Zen’s IPC between 0% and 9% below Intel’s Kaby Lake. Even in the worst case scenario these results are still impressive. Comparing Intel’s $1,000 6900K and the 1700X shows that AMD delivers comparable performance for half the price! A shake-up of the CPU market will unfold as Zen rolls out. If Ryzen CPUs can overclock to 4.6+ GHz they will likely dominate the entire market putting a very welcome end to the monotonous tick-tock of recent years. [Feb '17 CPUPro]
