Intel Atom N2600 vs Intel Celeron 1020M vs Intel Celeron 1005M

Intel Atom N2600

► remove from comparison

The Intel Atom N2600 is a dual core entry level processor for netbooks and tablets. It was officially announced in December 2011 after some troubles with the graphics drivers (according to rumors). 

The N2600 features a PowerVR SGX545 based graphics card (at 400MHz) named Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 and a video decoding engine for MPEG4 Part2, VC-1, WMV9, and H.264. Furthermore, the chip now also supports DisplayPort 1.1 and HDMI 1.3a outputs.

The processor core is still similar to the old Atom processors. Therefore the performance of the N2600 is comparable to an older Atom N570.

The integrated 64Bit Single-Channel DDR3-800/1067 memory controller supports two SODIMMS and a maximum of 2 GB RAM.

Intel Celeron 1020M

► remove from comparison

The Intel Celeron 1020M is an entry level dual core processor clocked at 2.1 GHz. It is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture (3rd generation Core, 22 nm) and features an integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics based on the HD Graphics 2500 at 650-1000MHz) and a reduced feature set (compared to the faster Core processors). E.g. Turbo Boost, AES, Hyperthreading, Virtualization VT-d, Quick Sync, Wireless Display and Clear Video HD are deactivated.

Compared to previous generations, the 1020M should be similar fast as a Pentium B960. Like most Ivy Bridge dual cores, the TDP is specified at 35 W.

Intel Celeron 1005M

► remove from comparison

The Intel Celeron 1005M is an entry-level dual-core processor clocked at 1.9 GHz. It is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture (3rd generation Core, 22 nm) and features an integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics based on the HD Graphics 2500 at 650-1000 MHz) and a reduced feature set compared to the faster Core processors. Turbo Boost, AES, Hyperthreading, Virtualization VT-d, Quick Sync, Wireless Display and Clear Video HD are all disabled.

Compared to previous generations, the 1005M is similar in performance to a Pentium B940. Like many Ivy Bridge dual-cores, the TDP is specified at 35 W.
