About Hardware Intel Celeron N2815

The Intel Celeron N2815 is a power-efficient processor released in 2013 as part of the Bay Trail-M family, aimed at entry-level laptops and lightweight computing devices. It has 2 cores and 2 threads with a base speed of 1.86 GHz that can increase to 2.13 GHz thanks to Intel Burst Performance technology. Built using a 22nm fabrication process, the N2815 comes with a TDP of only 7.5 watts, making it one of Intel's most efficient processors in terms of power consumption for the low-end class. This makes it very suitable for portable devices such as netbooks or mini laptops that prioritize battery life over high performance.

On the graphics side, the Intel Celeron N2815 is equipped with an integrated Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) GPU that runs at a base frequency of 313 MHz and can reach up to 756 MHz under certain conditions. This GPU is capable enough to run desktop displays smoothly, and supports 720p video playback. However, for heavy graphics tasks such as playing modern 3D games, video editing, or graphic design, this GPU is clearly not capable. Its use is more suitable for everyday computing such as opening documents, browsing the internet, playing standard videos, and running light office applications.

In terms of overall performance, the Celeron N2815 is sufficient for running light operating systems such as Windows 7 or light-based Linux distributions such as Lubuntu or Linux Mint XFCE. However, due to its simple architecture and low single-threaded performance, users may experience limitations when running multiple applications at once or when opening software that requires higher computing power. In tests using an Asus X200MA laptop with 2GB DDR3 dual channel RAM and Windows 7 operating system, performance was good enough for basic use, although it was slow when running modern applications or multitasking.

Overall, the Intel Celeron N2815 is a decent processor for light computing needs with low power consumption and an economical price, but it is not recommended for heavy productivity tasks or long-term use on modern operating systems.

About Hardware Intel Core i3 2330M

The Intel Core i3-2330M is a dual-core mobile processor launched in 2011 as part of Intel’s second-generation Sandy Bridge lineup. Designed for mid-range laptops, this processor features 2 cores and 4 threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing it to handle light to moderate multitasking workloads efficiently. Operating at a fixed clock speed of 2.2 GHz and built on the 32nm process, the i3-2330M does not include Intel Turbo Boost, which limits its ability to dynamically increase performance under heavier loads, but it remains a solid choice for everyday use.

With a TDP of 35W, the i3-2330M balances power consumption and performance reasonably well for its era. It integrates Intel HD Graphics 3000, a GPU with a base clock of 650 MHz and a dynamic frequency up to 1.1 GHz. While not designed for modern gaming or demanding graphic applications, this integrated GPU handles HD video playback, basic 3D rendering, and older or lightweight games at low settings with relative ease. Users looking for casual computing and multimedia playback will find it sufficient.

In real-world usage, the Core i3-2330M performs well for standard computing tasks such as web browsing, streaming, office productivity (e.g., Word, Excel), and simple photo editing. Its Hyper-Threading capabilities give it a performance edge over older dual-core processors that lack thread duplication. However, the lack of Turbo Boost and a relatively low base frequency mean that it can struggle under CPU-intensive workloads like video rendering or large spreadsheet processing, especially when compared to more modern CPUs.

This specific configuration was tested on a SAMSUNG 300E4Z, a laptop originally shipped with an Intel Celeron B815 processor but later upgraded to the i3-2330M for better performance. With 4GB of DDR3 dual-channel memory and Windows 7 installed, the system runs smoothly for basic daily use, making the i3-2330M a practical upgrade option for budget-conscious users seeking improved performance without replacing their entire system.

Device: SAMSUNG 300E4Z (This device originally used Celeron B815 which was upgraded to i3 2330M.)
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel
OS: Windows 7
