Celeron line fills the gap between whatever they call Atom and the i series line, so it's a good product for that purpose. It's not great, but it's not the bottom of the stack. All the criticisms against it are more or less fair but also ignore the purpose of the chip. When you can go to walmart and choose from a selection of atom powered laptops this thing suddenly doesn't look so bad.

I think what would have made for a more interesting product is something with 4 E-cores and no P cores. It's a Celeron, so you're not expected to be doing anything fancy with it. The Pentium could then add 2 P-cores.

Why Intel ?
2 cores is not enough these days, spend a bit more on an Alder Lake i3.

I think I would have prefered two clusters of E cores instead of this. Or maybe a 1P+4E setup. But 2P is not well suited to modern workloads. To put this into a time perspective, a dual core setup was really nice for Windows NT 4.0. Two and a half decades ago.

Modern web browsers plus background tasks can easily saturate all of the cores and user experience becomes horrible: everything starts lagging and behave erratically.

Intel Celeron G6900 Benchmarks - Performance Of Intel's $40~60 Alder Lake Processor
Phoronix: Intel Celeron G6900 Benchmarks - Performance Of Intel's $40~60 Alder Lake Processor
At the top-end of Intel's current Alder Lake line-up is the Core i9 12900K while at the opposite end is the Celeron G6900... The Celeron G6900 is a dual-core Alder Lake processor with a suggested customer price of $42~52 USD (though for the limited quantities available, I ended up paying $69). Curiosity got the best of me for seeing how well this lowest-end Alder Lake part performs under Ubuntu Linux.
