Is Intel pentium centrino better than dothan??

dothan is bad.  pentium centrino is pretty good enough.

I have an Acer laptop, and i like it.... Intel or Amd are both good processors, I have an AMD,but I highly reccomend that you do NOT get a celeron processor, they work good for a couple months, then they are the slowest dang things.

P4 is the standard chip\nCeleron is the cheap version of the chip\nXeon is the expensive version and is mainy used for network servers.\n\nGeneral use, the Celeron or P4 are just fine.  If price is of concern, go with the Celeron.  Performance is less than the P4 chip, but for everyday general use, it is not a significant difference.

Sadly, the Pentium D's are pretty much 2 scaled-back Pentium 4 Northwoods slapped onto a single chipset. It's not a new architecture. They pretty much use the same decoding instructions.

I'd recommend a macbook with the new intel processor but only if you really need to work with OS X. Otherwise you can get a much better configuration with a PC (a Centrino Duo costs about 20% less than the mac version)

centrino processor design for mobile. laptop\nbut celeron is design  ask a low end (remove half of cache memory) of pentium. u read carefully,\n\nintel give a name on processor like this\n\nintel pentium 4\nintel celeron\n\nevery version of pentium (pentium 2, pentium 3 and pentium 4) have a celleron version (that is remove half of cache)\neg: pentium 2, have celleron for pentium 2 (how we know it celeron for pentium 2? by look at socket type. \n\ni hope u understand.

Pentium Xeon is mainly for servers and costs a lot, some use it for 3D rendering. Pentium M uses centrino mobile technology mainly in laptops. The best Pentium Processor is the Intel® Pentium® processor Extreme Edition 955, having two cores @ 3.46Ghz. But the high price of over $1000 scares a lot of customers.\n\nTomshardware Guide compares all kinds of CPUs, here's a link to one of their charts where they list the CPUs according to performance: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

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!

Currently the AMD CPUs give you better performance at a slower click speed as well as at a price point too.\nI've used AMD and Intel chips right from the type of my first 386. As I obeserved, the Intel Pentium I from the 90s were really good. They out performed my AMD K6 at the time... but eventually I found the K6-II and K6-III giving similar performace to an Intel Pentium 2 or 3.\nAnyway, that old news... check out the link below to see come comparisons.

Given that the prices are the same,there are two other really important issues that you need to look at-performance and battery life.If you need higher performance,mobility,graphics,games and aren't away from a poer source for a long time,I would suggest that you go with the AMD Turion64 X2.My dad's is an Acer Aspire with AMD Turion64.Its not dual core,but I've really felt the upbeat in performance when compared to the Intel centrino series.But the problem persists in the battery life.The standard 6-cell Li-Ion Acer battery gives about 4-4.5 hrs in standard conditions when used with Centrino.The same battery is found to last only about 3.5hrs when used with AMD Turion64 processor.But since I wanted performance at any cost,I opted for this 64-bit beauty.\nIf its battery life that you need,I suggest that you go with the Centrino Duo series.This processor gives you a good battery life.\nThe difference between a 64-bit processor and a 32-bit one is that 64 chunks of data can be processed by a 64-bit processor in one go,and the other can only handle 32 chunks of data at a time.The AMD Turion64 X2 is a 64-bit processor.But the Intel Centrino Duo isn't.If you are indeed waiting for a 64-bit Dual Core solution from Intel,I suggest that you wait for about 2 months or so.Intel's Centrino Duo 2 is a dual core 64-bit processor with the second core about 30% faster.But since the performance characteristics of this isn't known,there's little that I can comment on.\nI hope that answers your question.

God these answers are crazy, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!  in basic words the centrino duo is basically two processors.  The intel core duo is two processors in one (basically)  go here for a better definition, im good with computers not words.\n\n http://computer.howstuffworks.com/microprocessor.htm

Pentium M is for Mobile gadgets, it's intended for laptops notebooks, etc. Never use it for a desktop computer. Or if you want to make a light traffic print server, Celeron would make a nicer deal, M is way too powerful and way too expensive for things like that.

centrino mobile processors have a 2mb L2 cache\n\npentium processors have 512kb - 1mb L2 cache\n\nthe centrino is faster and uses less power to do the same work. the caveat, centrinos do not pair with decent graphic cards -they generally use integrated/shared graphics

Basically, the difference is price, speed, and quality. Intel Celeron processors are cheaper that Intel Pentium 4s, but they are generally slower and will slow down further after a few years (if they last that long before breaking) due to poor construction. The difference between the Celeron D and the Celeron M is minimal, if not non-existent. A Celeron M is designed to be used for laptops (M stands for mobile), so it may take a little less power and run a little cooler (in exchange for a little less speed) than the Celeron Ds--which are designed for desktops where power consumption and heat isn't as big of an issue. In my opinion, Celerons (of any type) are the worst processor you can buy.\n\nHowever, AMD makes faster, more reliable, less expensive processors. The AMD Sempron competes with the Celeron, the AMD Turion competes with the Centrino (or Pentium M), the AMD Athlon competes with the Pentium 4, and the AMD Athlon X2 competes with Intel’s new dual-core processors. In all categories the AMD processors are superior in all aspects; especially the Sempron. Although the Sempron competes with the Celeron and is considerable less expensive, the Sempron is not poorly constructed so it does not have any reliability issues; not to mention that, in some cases, it has the speed to outperform Pentium 4s.

None better because each processor, AMD and Intel Pentium, has each benefits but usualy AMD cheaper than Intel Pentium so if you choose AMD you can get processor with performance as well as Intel Pentium with less cost.

Acutally, Intel Core Duo ONLY refers to the dual core Centrino systems with a Intel "Yonah" Processor, Intel 945 express chipset, and Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. (I'm pretty sure that the laptop can still be called "Core Duo" if the wireless card is replaced with a similiar non-Intel-brand one.)\n\nThe processor speed is the maximum non-overclocked speed at which EACH processor runs. Although there are two processors, you'll never get close to doubling the speed of a single processor. Practical gaming, business, and synthesis benchmarks show that average improvement in using 2 processors is anywhere from 0-30%. Multithreaded processes will see more benefit.

Pentium processors have had the best overall performance. However, the new AMD processors are faster than their Pentium counterparts in some tests. In general, you'll pay the most for an Intel processor, which means the AMD processors typically have a better price-performance ratio.\n\nSo conclusion go for AMD Athlon.
