I'm one of the really luckiest and earliest buyer in America to take home a Celeron G1820, which isn't released yet in retailers. It's already out now, but they are being shipped to retailers at this moment.

Already, some cheapsake PC builders mistakenly paid extra for the Pentium G3220 when they wanted the Celeron G1820 in the first place. Is there any really noticeable speed difference between, and is it definitely worth to save $20-$25 for a Celeron than Pentium?

Another thing I've noticed in the past is Celeron processors tend to sell-out first and deplete the store inventory before the Pentium processors. Why is that? Is cheapest all we need nowadays?

That does not make any sense. How can someone mistakenly pay extra for the Pentium G3220 when the Celeron G1820 is not even available? Could they have waited? Sure, but what if they need a PC now? Do you think the average person who wants to buy a PC even knows the G1820 is coming and on top of that actually know the difference in performance between Celeron and Pentium?

Not everyone needs a powerful PC so they are quite content to simply buy a low budget PC for whatever they want to do. Is buying the lowest budget PC their best choice? Maybe, maybe not. As I stated, the average person will...

As I stated, the average person will not know the difference in performance. They only know how much they will be paying.

The G1820 is supposedly 300MHz slower than the G3220 with 2MB of cache instead of 3MB and a slightly slower Intel HD (Haswell generation) graphics core. It will presumably support PCI-e 2.0. No official word regarding retail price.

Celeron G1820 is available for purchase through TigerDirect.com right now, which is actually shipped by a third-party seller.

I ordered two and received both of them today in the mail, and I'm touching the two G1820 boxes right now. There's a special sale promotion going on right now to bring down the price to around $35 plus shipping. Spend over $100 (purchase two G1820s) and one cheapo clearance items ending in 96 or 97 cents, and get back $25 mail-in-rebate in the mail. That's what I did with this purchase.

I'm not promoting about myself, but just sharing the deal and the G1820's better price advantage than the G3220 right now. I don't need to worry about CPU depreciation cost at all as years go on. We used to buy a Core 2 Quad processor costing $400 back then, and now they only worth around $30 to $50 used today.
