Celeron

Celeron is a brand name given by Intel Corp. to a number of different IA-32 and x86-64 computer microprocessor models targeted at budget personal computers.

Celeron processors can run all IA-32 computer programs, but their performance is often significantly lower when compared to similar CPUs with higher-priced Intel CPU brands. For example, the Celeron brand will often have less cache memory, or have advanced features purposely disabled. These missing features can have a variable impact on performance, but is often very substantial. While a few of the Celeron designs have achieved surprising performance, most of the Celeron line has exhibited noticeably degraded performance. This has been the primary justification for the higher cost of other Intel CPU brands versus the Celeron range.

Introduced in April 1998, the first Celeron branded CPU was based on the Pentium II branded core. Subsequent Celeron branded CPUs were based on the Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, and Intel Core branded processors. The latest Celeron design (as of January 2016) is based on the sixth generation Core i3/i5/i7 series (Skylake). This design features independent processing cores (CPUs), but with only 66% as much cache memory as the comparable Core i3 offering.

E for Explosion

E for Explosion were an alternative rock/shoegazing band formed by former JamisonParker singer Jamison Covington after the group's breakup in 2005. The only two constant members of the band were Covington (vocals, guitar) and his wife Dai Britain Covington (keyboards).

History

The band formed upon the breakup of JamisonParker and was originally called Dance With The Dead, strictly being a solo project of Covington. Covington would later change the name of the project to "Covington," and release a number of demos under that moniker. He then recruited touring musicians and began playing under the name "E For Explosion," a name chosen because of Covington's admiration of science fiction writer Ray Bradbury. After the band released an EP, they were signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album Reinventing the Heartbeat on May 20, 2008. The album was produced by Dave Trumfio.

The group released a new demo titled "Blankets and Blonde Hair" on February 23, 2009. A second demo was released on March 9, 2009 titled "This is Goodbye." Both have been removed from the group's Myspace player.
