LGA 1366
I dont get it what is the purpose of this chip?

The reason I came across this chip is I was trying to find a little info about the Intel Celeron G1101. Supposed to be an entry level chip in servers but I doubt people will buy a server with a Celeron sticker on the front.

You sure it's a server proc? I thought all of Intel's server chips were called Xeons no matter how powerful or weak they are.

But yeah, an extremely budget chip for their high-end socket doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If it were 1156 I'd be less surprised.

IBM is using this chip along with a Pentium GXXX and an i3

I know it is entry level, but putting the Celeron tag on a server just does not seem right.

It's a server-oriented processor (ECC support) for when you don't need CPU power but rather PCI-e slots and/or memory capacity and bandwidth.

Like if you were building a Nvidia GPU system?
