    Something a whole class below an i3, from 2019, just does not scream “winner” to me in any way. The same CPU has been deployed in cheap laptops… I see sub-$200 ones with this in it.

      edit- > I just realized you meant the celeron and it all make sense now! sorry!

      this chip has better single thread performance than the mac pro m2 ultra that apple still sells.

      there are in fact very little chips faster in single core than this chip

      edit- I went and look for some geekbench and the neo cpu is way better than I expected compared with intel cheap cpus.

      the best intel result in single core is the i9-14900ks which is lower than the a18 pro (~3200 vs~3400). If you go to multithread and look for the closes match you need to check i7s or i9s from 11-13 gen (e.g. i7-11700f, that have 50% less score in single thread).

      so I have no idea where you get the idea this chip is underpowered

        Ah, so your response was basically about the Macbook Neo CPU and not the Celeron one, right? That makes way more sense.

        But it certainly sullies the name of “UltraBook,” which apparently that Celeron laptop is.

          yes. I misread you who answered to and jumped at it.

          those celeries are definitively too underpowered
