what is the difference between celluron and pentium processors?

Answer 1

My choice is Pentium

Answer 2

Celeron
#A low-cost Pentium without cache.

# A brand of low-cost microprocessor chip made by Intel that is designed and optimised to work best in computers used by average home-PC users.

# A brand name for a line of Intel microprocessors introduced in June, 1998. Celeron chips are based on the same P6 architecture as the Pentium II microprocessor, but are designed for low-cost PCs. They run at somewhat lower clock speeds (266 and 300 MHz) and are not as expandable as Pentium II microprocessors. (Source: http://webopedia.internet.com) For more information about the Celeron processor.

# A Celeron is any of a large number of different budget x86 microprocessors produced by Intel and marketed as a second line to complement their more expensive but higher-performance Pentium CPUs. The first Celeron was introduced in August 1998 and based on the Pentium II. Later versions are based on the Pentium III and Pentium 4 designs.


Pentium
# The Pentium is a widely-used personal computer microprocessor from the Intel Corporation. First offered in 1993, the Pentium quickly replaced Intel's 486 microprocessor as the microchip-of-choice in manufacturing a personal computer. The original Pentium model includes two processors on one chip that contains 3.1 million transistors.


# A high-speed microprocessor chip made by Intel.


# Name given to Intel’s successor to the 486 processor (the "pent-" in Pentium refers to the fact that this chip is, in essence, a 586 processor). Pentium technology is currently the standard, with processor speeds ranging from 120 mHz to 600 mHz


# An Intel high-performance microprocessor introduced in 1993, also called P5, 586, or 80586. The name Pentium refers to the fact that it is the fifth microprocessor in the 80x86 series. It is about twice as fast as the 486.


# The latest microprocessor from Intel. peripheral Hardware component that you add to the central system unit of a computer, such as a monitor, printer, mouse. Plug and Play The ability to configure a new device automatically. port A conduit for transferring information between a computer and an external device, such as a modem, mouse, joystick, digital camera or printer. Parallel ports (used by printers and scanners) transfer bits of information simultaneously in groups. ...


# A range of CPUs made by intel. The Pentium has evolved over the years from the Pentium 1, P2, P3, P4, and now the P4EE. Pentiums run at higher numbers of Mhz than AMD XP chips, and also cost more.


# Microchip produced by Intel.

Answer 3

It is my understanding that the Celeron is a Pentium with a non-functional math coprocessor. So, software that issues instructions in the math coprocessor set has to check to see if a math coprocessor is present. If none is present, the software has to emulate math coprocessor instructions by using the instructions available in the standard instruction set.

Only specialized software uses the math coprocessor, so for most users and most applications, the absence of a math coprocessor in the Celeron does not matter.

Answer 4

between those two i would go pentium. though i have had an AMD for the past 3 years and it has been soooooo quiet - not like a celeron on my laptop that is really noisy.
