What the Celeron 807 is
Intel Celeron 807 is a single core Sandy Bridge mobile processor that Intel released in July 2012 for thin soldered laptops. It runs at a fixed 1.5 GHz with no turbo, and Hyper-Threading turns the single core into 2 threads. Cache is 1.5 MB Intel Smart Cache. Power is rated at 17 W on a 32 nm process. Notebookcheck, Chipswiki and the retired ARK entry confirm Hyper-Threading, while TechPowerUp lists a single thread.
Graphics are Intel HD Graphics for Sandy Bridge at 350 MHz to 950 MHz. The block covers thin laptop displays without a card. The controller takes DDR3 at 1066 or 1333 MT/s.
The second thread helps light multitasking over the 797, though both stay single core designs. Thin bodies pair it with HM76 class boards and small SSDs. The How to find your CPU socket type guide shows how to confirm the soldered package.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Celeron 807 solders to BGA 1023 with 1,023 balls in a 31 by 24 mm footprint and cannot be moved. Thin makers qualify each model with a fixed board and BIOS, so another BGA part is not a field swap.
The BIOS must list the exact Celeron 807 string. Power is light, so the board search is about screen, ports and battery. The CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide notes soldered cooling stays board specific.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory support is DDR3-1066 and 1333, two channels, up to 16 GB. Soldered RAM options lock size at purchase. Two channels help shared graphics.
PCI Express lanes come from the CPU for Wi-Fi and storage. No graphics upgrade exists at this power.
Cooling is a slim 17 W spreader and fan. Fixed clocks need little airflow, but cleaning keeps fan noise down.
Upgrade paths
There is no CPU upgrade path on soldered BGA 1023. The Celeron 807 cannot be removed, so a faster thin laptop means a new board or a new device. A soldered dual on the same package is Intel Celeron 877, but boards rarely cross models.
A platform move means a new thin laptop on a current BGA package. Keep the old body for basic tasks after a wipe.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Intel Celeron 807 use?
It uses BGA 1023, a soldered package. The chip cannot be removed.
Does the Celeron 807 have Hyper-Threading?
Yes. One core gives 2 threads at 1.5 GHz per Notebookcheck, Chipswiki and ARK.
What memory does the Celeron 807 use?
DDR3-1066 and 1333, two channels, up to 16 GB.
Can the Celeron 807 be upgraded?
No. Soldered BGA parts need a board or laptop replacement for more speed.
