CPU On-Board: Intel Celeron 220

by

Intel’s D201GLY2 motherboard comes with an Intel Celeron 220 CPU soldered directly onto the board. This single-core processor uses the Conroe-L design, based on the 65 nm Conroe architecture.

The Celeron 220 is the successor to the Yonah-based Celeron 215. Intel used this part on its previous D201GLY board.

Like all of Intel’s Celeron models, the 220 does not possess the SpeedStep power saving feature. The CPU is also not sold separately.

Since the BIOS does not offer any FSB speed controls, overclocking through bus speed manipulation is not an option. Our review board used the ICS 9LPR604AFLF clock generator; other versions use the 9LPR604AGLF that can be adjusted using software tools. This, unfortunately, did not work on our board.

Good article... But dollars... Really?

Think I'll just follow most readers and just concentrate reading the US site of Tom's from now on.

I agree. This is a good article............but............
I cannot source this board in the UK (all are saying out of stock). Also, why bother to have a UK site when most articles relate to USA, ie dollars.
It is much better to just log in to the USA site

Wouldn't the Intel Little Falls (M-ITX) board with the Atom processor be a better choice? Same price (if not even lower?) and uses less power?

Ditch the serial & parallel ports, give me a gbit network card and I'm sold! Oh and like other people say, prices in £ ffs

I'm forever being asked to build fast computers, and this proves once again that unless you actually use that power (and wisely), you're not going to see a huge difference. Intel..AMD..doesn't matter; you just don't need to spend a fortune these days and both platforms offer great power thermal envelopes.

Quote :We can’t really say that the board’s power consumption was especially low—an AMD 780G board paired with a Sempron processor draws even less power when idle. On top of that, the AMD system offers markedly better performance and can even decode HD video content thanks to its 780G chipset graphics.


..if only AMD would market these features more.

One thing does stand out: no 'C1E Speedstep' support..you'd have thought with a system like this, that such a feature would be standard. Guess it's just an easy way of getting rid of old S-479 gear.
