Intel has started shipping its first Celeron processor based on Sandy Bridge architecture.
The dual-core Celeron B810 processor is claimed to be one of the first low-budget mobile products based on Sandy Bridge micro-architecture. The processor has two cores, 2MB L2 cache, operates at 1.6GHz, and will be compatible with socket G2 motherboards. It uses up to 35 watts of power, the company said.
The Celeron B810 processor, includes integrated graphics capabilities, was seen earlier this year in specifications of several Fujitsu notebooks.
The processor is priced at $86 when purchased in quantities of 1,000.
In February this year, Intel had discovered a design flaw in its new line of Sandy Bridge processors that it released in January 2011. The chipmaker announced that a new version of the chip would be out in mid-February.
