Re: junk like the Celeron
Celerons have see-sawed back and forth between "junk" and "pretty good deal" a number of times over the years. Mendocino and Tualatin Celerons? Brilliant for the money. Anything Netburst-based? Horrible junk. When they first went dual core back in Sandy Bridge days, they were a good deal again. But became junk as they kept the 2 cores only for 10 years. The very last Alder Lake ones with 1xP and 4xE cores were decent again. I suppose there are also the Atom-based ones, which really depended on usage (for a NAS? Great. For a laptop? Junk).
