Can you sort pentium processors by type, For example from celeron to core duo ...?

There are several classes and sub classes, but for the most part:\n\n286\n386\n486\npentium\n--pentium pro\nP2\n--Celeron, crippled P2 (or was it P3)\nP3\nCeleron becoms its own, less multimedia stuff in it\n(linux servers love'em)\nP4\n\nP4HT (Hyper Threading) apears to be 2 CPU's in one. but still one core)\n\nP4DC (Dual Core, acts as 2 cpus, becouse there is 2 coes on one physical chip)\n\nWithin those, there are many variations, for differnt applications such as servers, also there are differnt cache sizes for every one as well.\n\nSo if Joe has a P4-2GHz for $500 and Jane has a P4-2GHz for $100, well janes is going to kick joes butt, could be more cache, 1 meg etc..\n\nJust my 2Cents

the differance between processors depends on many parameters, not only the speed, some of these parameters:\n1- The speed of the processor\n2- Level 1 of the cash memory\n3- Level 2 of the cash memory\n4- Any additional technologies in it such as 'hyperthreading' or 'dual core' or 'LGA' and so on\nbut i think in ur case the big differance in the speed of the two processors sides the celeron 1.3 'the better', but u must show also the cash memory it is very important parameter

If it's a single thread program, the pentium 3.0 ghz\nIf it's a multi thread program, the dual core.

Centrino is not a processor you probably are refering to a Pentium M with Centrino technology. The difference is in the performance a Pentium M at 1.6 ghz can perform at much faster clocks speeds and handle more than an Intel Celeron M at 1.6 ghz.

1.6 ghz AMD turion 64 X2 has two 1.6 processors inside. Dual core processors handle multi-tasking better if you're running mulitiple programs on a Pentium 4 it's going to slow down. If you run it on the dual core processor it will run smoothly. \n\nRunning one program at time 2.4 P4 processor would beat 1.6 dual core. 1.6 is kinda slow I have 1.83 core duo processor. I paid $1200 for my 15.4" labtop. Now there are core 2 duos which are faster than the core duo so I recommend getting a labtop with a core 2 duo or at least what I have because it's pretty quick.

Right-click on My Computer\n\nClick on Hardware -> Device Manager\n\nThen Click on the plus sign in front of Processors\n\nIf your laptop has single processor, you will see only 1 line / info for the processor speed\n\nIf it's a duo processor, you should see 2 lines showing the same info for speeds\n\nI think that's what it is... hope that helps.

You would be able to know using the processor model number (not speed).

Guys.. there is nothing like best... it all depends upon 'your objective' ie your requirements decide the best. Intel offers CPUs in two brands - pentium and celeron. if you've more money, then you could go for pentium. celeron is low-cost processor and it does effective than pentium. Another one is AMD's Athlon its all so cheap and faster. My opinion falls on Athlon.

You can start by noting what type of slot/socket it has for the CPU, and/or any model numbers / designations to the mainboard, as well as the manufacturer. THEN perhaps we can look up something appropriate.

No such thing as Pentium (R). You must be thinking of Pentium M, which is a low-power variant of Pentium 4. \n\nA 1.6 GHz Pentium M is about a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4. So Pentium 4 3.8 Ghz will be quite a bit faster than 1.73 GHz Pentium M.

Intel Core 2 Duo.\n\nRead the system info. Its clear.

As a rule, never go for a Celeron.\nThe diference is in the arhitecture of the PC itself.\nFor example the Pentium has a 1mb level 2 cache. The Celeron has half of that. This translates in slower speeds at processing flow. \nIf you want the best for your laptop go for the full featured mid-range processor either from AMD or Pentium.\n\nSempron from AMD comes in the same way, with less multimedia instructions and much less cache memory.\n\nI still won't recomend Pentium 4 based laptops because of heat generated by these processor. In laptops this translates in increased speeds from the cooler and faster battery outage. Hold out until the Core 2 Duo laptops jump on the wagon, if they haven't already or move to the AMD based laptops which will give you better performance than Pentium 4.\nWith longer battery life too!

The performance differences between the Celeron-466 and the PentiumIII-450 can be illustrated using our CPU Comparator. \nIn summary, the main differences between Celerons and Pentiums are in the areas of bus speed and L2 cache features. Both Pentium-II's and -III's ship with 512kB of secondary (L2) CPU instruction cache. This allows the CPU to store recently used instructions close by and is responsible for much of their high performance.\n\nThe Celerons that Intel first introduced as a low-cost CPU alternative (266 & 300MHz versions) were basically just Pentium-II's without any L2 cache at all. This deficiency really punished Celeron performance when compared to competitive AMD and Cyrix chips. In response, subsequent Celeron versions (300A and up) were provided with 128kB of L2 cache. Though only one-quarter the size of the Pentium cache, it was built to run at the full speed of the respective CPU, rather than at half-speed as in the Pentiums. Due to its higher manufacturing cost and technical issues, the larger Pentium cache memory has always been set to run at only half the speed of the CPU itself. For a full-speed L2 in a Pentium design, you need to get into Intel's (much more expensive) Xeon line.\n\nWhat Intel plays down-- but nearly everyone knows-- is that the full-speed, quarter-size Celeron cache gives them almost the same performance as the half-speed, full-size cache gives Pentiums. Thus you'll find that, for most applications, Celerons rated at the same MHz will equal or better an equivalent Pentium-II, for a much lower price.\n\nFor example:\n\n     Celeron @ 466MHz x 128kB L2 @ 466MHz =>\n     Pentium-II @ 450MHz x 512kB L2 @ 225MHz\n\nPentium-III's are given an added boost with an inherently faster system bus speed (100MHz vs. 66MHz for the Celerons) and Intel's new SSE 3D instruction set. This combination of hardware and firmware enhancements gives Pentium-III's a significant edge over the Celeron's smaller cache and slower bus.\n\n=)

a lot of crappy answers.\nno, you can't replace a Centrino (aka. Pentium M) processor with a Core Duo, because they have different sockets.\nthe Pentium M Centrino has a socket 478, while the Core Duo needs a socket M.

Celeron's are intel processors with smaller cache and slower bus speeds than full fledge petium 4's.\n\nThis article should help you:\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/2002/09/03/battling_brothers/index.html

AMD is better cos they are usaully 64 bits where as celeron are 32bit
