Intel Celeron Dual-Core Linux Performance

C-Ray is a simple ray-tracing engine, but still, it was nearly three times faster with the LGA-775 processor.

Lastly, with Crafty, which is a chess AI engine, the E1400 did marginally better than the AMD LE-1150 when it was locked the same, but it secured a larger lead when running at 2.65GHz.

The Celeron E1400 is far from being a dream CPU for someone looking for top-notch performance, but if you are on a very low budget and are not looking for too much out of your PC, this dual-core Celeron may be a nice choice. The Intel Celeron E1400 sells for less than $50 USD and provides two physical CPU cores clocked at 2.00GHz, but as our testing shows, even with a lower-end motherboard we had no problems pushing this CPU to run at 2.65GHz just fine with the stock cooling. For the most part, the results were admirable but in a few of the tests the E1400 had fell behind to the single-core AMD Sempron LE-1150, which costs a bit less but is clocked the same as the E1400.
