Okay, I was slightly off because there were a few 2 core 4 thread models that snuck into the low end of i5, but in general they were 4 core 4 thread. And Nehalem/Westmere worked together as the first generation, so they didn't make the bigger desktop sizes using Westmere. Westmere shouldn't be analyzed as a standalone release.

But those Celerons are simply a different product line. I'm pretty sure they never released an i processor with less than 2 cores and 4 threads.
