2.0GHZ Celeron VS 1.6GHZ Pentium

[bigcomp]

which one is faster? .. Pentium offcourse .. but if 1.6 ghz pentium not an equivalent to 2.0ghz celeron , then whats the equivalent for it??

 

[Ku-sama]

well, to be blunt, a 1.6GHz P4 killed a 2.5GHz Celeron

I believe cache is a problem for alot of Celerons. Look here - http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/192/4

That is for the Celeron D however, you may have an older one.

.......... I was told that a 2.0ghz celeron is equivalent to 1.6ghz pentium!!

 

[bigcomp]

sorry to prove you wrong ku-sama but if you check out the cpuscorecard then celeron is'nt that bad when compared to a pentium , as you considered it to be..

 

[Ku-sama]

well, when we tested it in the classroom, the celeron scored 20 points lower in 3DMark05 and 210 points lower in 3DMark03

on the EXACT same rig? which was used to install windows?

 

[Ku-sama]

it was the same exact rig, and we reinstalled XP on it on the same harddrive

then that would be a good trial. celerons suck

How about PCMark or other benchmarks? This is just in a graphical benchmark.

 

[Ku-sama]

the celeron lost by 2-30 point gain for the P4 in PCMark and the P4 was about 3~ seconds faster in PI

the only physical difference between the two is the cache size really. then you take into consideration frequency. in my opinion a celeron at 2ghz would beat a P4 at 1.6ghz, depending on cache sizes. then you also need to take into consideration what app you're running... some are more frequency dependant (rather ALL) but some apps require more cache... and time to process.

ok guys, whats the really the difference with Celeron and Pentium? their both made from Intel? (i dont know much about CPU's, thats why im asking .)

All I know is that Celeron D's are essentially the same as Pentium 4's, except they have less cache.

 

[jp198780]

oo ok, soo my P4 would kill a CD?

 

[fade2green514]

yep and celeron m's are essentially the same as pentium M with less cache.
i'd rather a celeron d at 2ghz than a pentium 4 at 1.6ghz definitely.
if the celeron d was clocked at 2.8ghz, then it would own your chip.

 

[jp198780]

is that just because it's a faster chip? it would on my chip, cause it's a full GHZ over mine.

 

[johnb35]

For my 2 cents, I have seen a P3 600 mhz outrun a celeron 1.3 ghz. Personally, I hate the celerons.

 

[jp198780]

damnn, how could that? did the P3 have alot more RAM or something?

 

[holyjunk]

No, because the p3 runs a lot better then a celeron. Despite speed differance.
