but I still find Intel's branding a bit more than confusing. The current Atoms are nothing like the in-order-execution only monstrosities they originally launched as.

The N4100 I have is reasonably on par with the Core 2 Q6600 quad, which was quite the beast of a chip back in its day. This is not to say avoid Atoms at all costs. TLDR: Intel has made it nearly impossible for anyone to know if they're getting Core based or Atom based mobile chips unless significant research is done beforehand. You'll see that "Pentium Silver" also falls into that group. If you were to look at other Gemini Lake cores. It's listed as "Gemini Lake" in Intel ARK, which is a rebranding of its original lineage. I have a Celeron N4100 in my cheap netbook. (Though the Celeron line could be very confusing, if I recall correctly.)Ĭurrent Pentium and Celeron chips can either be mobile variants of the Core line or. IIRC the Pentium line did not make this mistake.
