The description says it contains a Core i3 Chip yet reviewers are saying it has a Celeron, which is it?

there are several different Models that have various chips. The more expensive models have a core i3 and core i5 the least expensive model like I own has Celeron, which is fine unless you wish to play high end games and such. I use my Celeron equipped NUC as a Media Center PC with no problems once-so-ever. It is Excellent for this use.

Well considering the vast differences from the Celeron (Intels mistake) to the i3/i5/i7 I need to know which one I would be getting as it is comparable to a Prius vs a Ferrari, it will get you there, eventually....

The DCCP847DYE version is a Celeron processor. That is what come with the one I ordered back in Nov. 2013. There are versions of the Intel NUC which use the i3 and greater chips which are great if you intend to do more than using this as a media center pc.

Based on my UBUNTU 14.04 System Info:Celeron CPU 1007U @ 1.50 Ghz x2 (2 core)64-bit processor.

it is a core 3 system. which has been great for the things i need it to do. this is plenty enough for the average user. hope this helps you. brian

Hello, the version I received does have a dual core processor. It is very responsive and doesn't lag often. Looks like its a hit or miss on these devices.

The 2 cores listed on the specs is most likely a typo. It is in fact a quad core i5.

none of them. It has 2X quad core XEON processors. It means 8 total cores on 2 processors. I7 could be considered a newer model, but for games go for a pc with I7, other than that its pretty dependable, good performance machine overall.

I received mine on September 22nd and it does have the i5-2430M. Kind of interesting though as even the box and all of the packaging lists the i5-2410M. Only see the correct processor when you look at the computer profile once you start it up.

It has 2 cores. since it has no hyperthreading, it can run 2 threads, one on each core, simultaneously. Full specs are at: http://ark.intel.com/products/75608/Intel-Celeron-Processor-2955U-2M-Cache-1_40-GHzThis is not particularly fast but it is extremely power-efficient and more than adequate for ChromeOS, or even for a full-up Linux, for its intended applications.

It is a dual core with hyper threading according to it's spec sheet found here. So 2 cores but it handles 4 threads at a time like a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/52229/Intel-Core-i5-2520M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

Hi, an Intel Celeron 450 seems to take a singular cpu socket 775, But depending on when your motherboard bios was installed you may or maynot need to do a Bios upgrade to enable it to support the either the Intel E-8400 Core dueo or the e-8500 Both are duel core cpus and both are very fast. I've owned both of them . they can even play many newer games very well , not counting how powerful your Video card is or not. To be sure on changing out your cpu I would strongly suggest contacting Dell to verify if the cpu upgrade your thinking of doing is possible, Dell support should have no problem giving you this information.Best of luck with doing your upgrade.

I looked on the properties and yes the prcessor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2,40 GHz not 3,2 GHz as you say it shows in amazon. The laptop works pretty fast and it doesn't overheat easily.

IT person here. I've verified all the components are legit. The specs on Amazon are in fact incorrect. The unit shipped actually has higher specs.This machine actually ships with an Intel Core i7-4810MQ @ 2.80GHZ. (Not the Intel Core 2.7 GHz i7 4800MQ Quad-Core)It also comes with 8GB DDR3 RAMAnd I've confirmed in the Nvidia driver settings that it comes with the 3GB version of the NVIDIA Geforce GTX870M

More important question is what processor does this laptop have. Description is not accurate.

It's a dual core Atom. They have a newer version with an i3, but it way overpriced.
