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 i7 7700K

The Intel Core i7-7700K, launched in early 2017, is a high-performance desktop processor from the 7th generation Kaby Lake family. Built on the 14nm process, the i7-7700K features 4 physical cores and 8 threads, thanks to Hyper-Threading Technology, and is targeted at enthusiasts, gamers, and power users. It operates at a base frequency of 4.2 GHz and can boost up to 4.5 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost, delivering excellent single-threaded performance one of the highest at the time of its release.

As part of Intel’s “K” series, the Core i7-7700K has an unlocked multiplier, making it ideal for overclocking on compatible Z-series motherboards. However, with a TDP of 91W, the processor demands an effective cooling solution, especially when overclocked beyond its stock speeds. Users typically pair this CPU with aftermarket air or liquid coolers to ensure thermal stability under heavy workloads or gaming sessions.

The processor includes Intel HD Graphics 630, which supports 4K output at 60Hz and is sufficient for basic tasks like web browsing, video playback, and office work. However, for serious gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads, a discrete graphics card is still necessary, especially when paired with a high-refresh-rate monitor or demanding software.

In terms of real-world performance, the i7-7700K remains capable even today for 1080p and 1440p gaming, general productivity, and creative tasks. It delivers solid frame rates in many modern titles when used with a modern GPU, and it handles applications like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and coding environments reasonably well. However, due to its limited core count by today’s standards and lack of PCIe 4.0 support, it has started to show its age in multi-threaded and next-gen workloads.

Despite being surpassed by newer Intel and AMD CPUs with more cores and better efficiency, the i7-7700K still holds value in many mid-range desktop setups, especially for users who already own an LGA 1151 system and want to maximize performance without a full platform upgrade.
