Intel Atom N570 vs Intel Celeron B730

Intel Atom N570

The Intel Atom N570 is a dual core Atom CPU for small netbooks and offers relative slow performance but also features a low power consumption. Because of the "in order" execution, the Atom series CPUs are slower than Core / Celeron CPUs at the same clock rate. The N570 is produced in 45nm and supports DDR3 main memory. It contains the GMA3150 graphics card on the same chip.

Intel Celeron B730

The Intel Celeron B730 is a single core processor for entry level laptops. It is based on the Sandy Bridge architecture (2nd generation Core) and features an integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics based on the HD Graphics 2000 at 650-1000MHz) and a reduced feature set (compared to the faster Core processors). E.g. Turbo Boost, AES, Virtualization VT-d, Quick Sync, Wireless Display and Clear Video HD are deactivated. Furthermore, some power saving features may be deactivated, leading to a shorter battery runtime compared to Core i3 processors.

Due to the slow clock speed, the performance is rather limited. Compared to previous generations, the B730 should faster than a Celeron M 925, thanks to Hyper-Threading support.

The integrated dual channel DDR3-1066/1333 memory controller supports up to 16GB.
