celeron-intel

[Da Mail Man]

greetings,

..is Celeron the same as Intel or are they one and the same in regards to processors/..in effect,if a computer needs a Celeron processor at 3.2, can an Intel Processor of he same speed and socket be used?

It all depends on the motherboard on what it can support. And celeron processors are from Intel. And unless it is one of the newer celeron processors I would stay away from them as much as possible.

......thanks for the reply!...so intel is celeron and vice-versa huh?....wonder why they are referred to both ways....at any rate, i was looking to put in a 3.2 celeron into my dell and was told the max is that as a celeron and with reading items on "that big auction site", i see intel AND celeron and don't want o buy (if i chose to) the incorrect processor

What dell computer do you have? If its a real old one, you won't notice any speed increase or performance increase basically.

Yeah the old Cellys were not great at all,But teh newer ones are quite nippy!

I have a Celeron M 2Ghz in my Asus Laptop and its very good,much better than i was expecting.

Intel makes the celeron processor. Celeron is just a name in a certain line, just like Pentium 4. It's intel celeron, and intel pentium 4, etc.

Intel celery is dragon rape

What does that even mean?



The new dual core celeron's are decent. The ''E3x00'' series that is. They use the same wolfdale cores like the E8400 core2duo with just less cache.

Very interesting......

There's a Clarkdale Celeron as well. Same as the Pentium, minus .2GHz and 2MB of L3.

There's also an LGA 1366 one...bit of a head scratcher. It's a 1.6GHz single core with hyperthreading.

When did those come out? Interesting...

Hi,
The Intel Celeron processor was always designed to be a low-cost alternative to the Pentium processor line. The Celeron is simply a downgraded Pentium that almost anyone can afford. To begin, Celeron chips have a smaller L2 cache 9128kb compared with 512kb in the Pentium 4 Northwood, which translates into slower processing speeds. In fact, current Celerons have a clock speed limit of about 2.0GHz, where as the Pentium for is capable of speed in excess of 3.0GHz. In addition, the Pentium runs at a lower core voltage because it is more energy efficient.

Thanks
