Which is better - Penium 4 3.0Ghz 1mbK OR Intel celeron 2.4ghz 256k OR intel centrino m processor 770 2.13ghz?

well it really depends on what you are going to do with the machine... Every processor has it strengths and weaknesses, sometimes they are designed that way to provide for a specific market.  You could ask and get so many different answers based on peoples personal opinion from thier personal uses of the processor.  A math or physics student, programmer or graphics artists would tell you that the pentium 4 is the best.  Someone who does a lot of wireless stuff and general computing would most likely say the Centrino and someone who does home computing with no real stress in any particular way for the system would say the celeron, but then of course for price those would be different.  Buy a system that does what you need for a good price and is competetive as far as upgradeability.  After all no nead buying a jetski if you don't go to the lake.

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

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" chips were made with the intention to be "Pentium chips" but they are the ones that fall short of the specifications required to meet the standards of Pentium chips (operating speed, etc.)  In most industries when a manufactured product isn't up to par or "defective" it is discarded.  The Intel company decided that instead of throwing them away, they would make money on them by slapping a cool name on them and put them into computers anyway.\n\nCelerons are substandard and you should never sell yourself and your computer short by letting one into your house.

amd has the 64 tech \npen has 32 tech\npentium is going to bring out 64  tech\ngamers  go for the amd  64 tech for better picture quality\nfor gaming .\ndoes it run any different\nive tryed my friends coms at lan meetings picture quality is good with amd other than that i dont see any diff\namd is i think cheeper. athalon is the better chip.\ndont get the sempron in amd /pentium dont get celeron

A Celeron processor is cheaper than a Pentium, but at the cost of speed. It is slower, but cheaper.

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

the processor is same ....pentium M\n\nwhen it is a combination of intel pentium M processor + intel motherboard + intel wireless card it is certified as centrino. as they together work to conserve more power , than a mix of different band of mother board and wireless card.

Here are the most important similarities and differences between the Pentium 4 and the Celeron chips coming out today: \nCore - The Celeron chip is based on a Pentium 4 core. \n\nCache - Celeron chips have less cache memory than Pentium 4 chips do. A Celeron might have 128 kilobytes of L2 cache, while a Pentium 4 can have four times that. The amount of L2 cache memory can have a big effect on performance. \n\nClock speed - Intel manufactures the Pentium 4 chips to run at a higher clock speed than Celeron chips. The fastest Pentium 4 might be 60 percent faster than the fastest Celeron. \n\nBus speed - There are differences in the maximum bus speeds that the processors allow. Pentium 4s tend to be about 30 percent faster than Celerons. \nWhen you sort all this out and compare the two chips side by side, it turns out that a Celeron and a Pentium 4 chip running at the same speed are different beasts. The smaller L2 cache size and slower bus speeds can mean serious performance differences depending on what you want to do with your computer. If all you do is check e-mail and browse the Web, the Celeron is fine, and the price difference can save you a lot of money. If you want the fastest machine you can buy, then you need to go with the Pentium 4 to get the highest clock speeds and the fastest system bus. \nalso u can check out this site for more info:\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/question268.htm

Pentium 4s are the current top-of-the-line Intel processor, the Centrino is used in notebooks and has built in wireless capability, Celerons are considered budget processors.  For example:\n\nA Celeron at 3.2 GHz will run slower than a P4 at 2.66GHz.  This is because the Pentium processor performs more work during a clock cycle.  However, Celerons are more highly overclockable and can actually be decent processors.  There are P4s, the P4s with HT, the 64-bit P4s, the p4 dual cores (extreme), and the PentiumD dual cores.\n\nCentrino is not the name of a processor or a computer, it is the name given to the combined technology within the chipset and processor of a notebook PC.

Basically, Celeron this the cheap-ass processor.  Celerons are the lowest of the low with slow speeds, higher crash rates, and basically only enough power for a user of only e-mail, internet surfing, and pinball...nevermind high-graphic games like Quake 4 or Sims 2.  Centrino processors are built specifically for laptop computers so they are great on power consumption and heat (or, less heat, for that matter).  The Centrino processors also have WiFi capabilities (wireless interet/networking, as long as you have a router at home or are in a WiFi-enabled building (e.g., certain Starbucks coffeeshops).  Go with Centrino, my friend!, hands down.

No, Centrino is just another name for Pentium M.

Well I would take the Core Duo for two reasons.  First it is dual core, and secondly it is a mainstream processor and the Sempron is a budget model which means it has cut down features.  If you were comparing a Core Duo to a Turion X2, I would say go with the Turion X2, but in this case, I would easily say go with the Core Duo.

And in every system I ever build I include a 2nd Harddrive for games or music, videos, etc.  It keeps the system drive from being cluttered and fragmented.\n\nHope that helps

This link to tomshardware.com: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/08/22/amd_dual_core_laptops_have_arrived/page17.html doesn't directly compare the two processors you mentioned, but it does compare AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 to the Intel Core Duo T2500 (which is 5 steps better than the T2050, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_microprocessors.)  Those two processors are fairly equal in terms of performance, with the AMD being a little better.  But in terms of battery consumption, the Intel is much better.  \n\nTo be honest though, if you really want the best bang for your buck, I'd go with Intel's Core 2 Duo.  There is a list of them about 3 quarters of the way down on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors

Core 2 Duo is far superior.  The Pentium 4, though it does have the capability of hyperthreading, it is still just a single core 32 bit processor.  The Core two duo has two 64 bit processing engines, so it can process more instructions at one time.

you technically couldn't make them the same speed, but unless you are saying like a Intel P4 2.8ghz a Celeron at 2.8 and an AMD Athlon at 2.8, well, the Athlon will beat everything from the Intel 2.8s to about 3.77s to even 4ghz for Intel due to the difference inthe AMD cpu architecture.
