The Intel Celeron G1820 is a value orientated dual core processor. It has passable single and dual-core performance but its multi-core performance is extremely weak. The majority of desktop CPU tasks are single and dual core so weak multi-core performance isn't generally a problem. The G1820 is priced very well and consequently represents great value for money. Comparing the G1820 and Pentium G3420 shows that the G3420 offers nearly 20% more performance which, particularly in the single and dual core categories, makes for a far snappier and satisfying desktop experience. The G1820 is a great value option but paying just a little more for a G3420 will be well worth it for most users. [Mar '14CPUPro]
