Intel: Atom is expanding to the detriment of the Celerons

The popularity of the Intel Atom is unbroken, however, this will affect Celeron’s sales figures.

Relying on Fuji's knowledge, we can report the not surprising news that Intel Atom is gaining ground by devouring the Celeron market, both in the desktop and laptop markets.

In the price and performance categories represented by the two processor families, single-core CPUs are in the majority, dominating 70% of them, while dual-core Atoms and Celerons accordingly account for about 30%. Examining these figures further, it can be seen that in the first quarter of 2009, Celerons accounted for 65% and Atoms for almost 5% of single-core customers, while Celerons accounted for 23% of sales in the dual-core segment. 7 was made up of the Atoms.

In the second quarter, the share of the dual-core Intel Atom 330 is expected to jump to 25%, which means that the sales figures of the single-core Intel Celeron 420, 430, 440 and 450 central units will drop drastically, certainly less than 50%. they will be able to own from this segment. According to the "forecasters" estimate, in the fourth quarter, the relevant indicator of single-core Celerons may fall below 20%, while Atoms - including single- and dual-core models - may gain a share of more than 60% in the entry-level computer market by the end of the year. The remainder will be shared almost equally by the single-core 400 series and the dual-core E1000 (E1200, E1400, E1500 and E1600) Celerons.
