"up to the latest Intel Pentium Silver" means the lowest of the low Celeron will be put on that thing and expected to run W10M.

At this point in time, Intel should seriously consider killing Celeron-off or rather, redesign it as an ARM architecture cpu. They are slow for x86 standards, they heat up and power management is not good either, imo.

Pentium should be the lower end. anything less than that is trash.
