I don't know anything about the RAM you choose, but I would pick a more well known brand. Why? If you have an issue, I don't know how well Neo will stand behind an RMA. Crucial, Corsair, etc will definitely stand behind their products. I would also get a new power supply. The one in a 3rd generation Intel box has to be way past the "best by" date. Upvote 0 Downvote

None of those options can be considered "upgrade". Celeron system is actually downgrade. You'd be going from 2thread/4core system to 2core/2thread. Athlon system is not upgrade either. It's the same 2core/4thread configuration as your existing system. Upvote 0 Downvote

The IPC difference between a 10 year old i3 and a current celeron has to be on the magnitude of 100%. Upvote 0 Downvote

Single core performance difference is ~15%-20% (nowhere close to 100%). In multi-core performance Celeron is weaker. Upvote 0 Downvote

How do you figure? This is 10nm vs original 22nm. The IPC is 15-20% from rocket lake14nm+++++++++ which was 6% from the prior and so on. Its IPC increase is very likely over 100% 50% (50-75% I did some math) compared to a 10 year old i3. Last edited: Jan 28, 2022
