Series of processors / Generation of Pentium processors.
IBM - POWER series, PowerPC series, CBE series, Broadway core (Nintendo Wii), Xenon (Xbox 360) Intel - Pentium series, including Pentium M and Pentium D; Celeron value series; Core and Core 2 series; Xeon server processors; Itanium and Itanium 2; XScale low-power processors AMD - Various series of Athlons; Opteron series; Geode low-power processors
This depends on what type of A-Series you are talking about, but the i3 is better than the Pentium Dual Core although they are based on the same microarchitecture.
Type of processors that Intel named Intel Celeron is a "budget" processor for less-intensive computing tasks such as e-mailing, light web surfing and word processing. Since people have digital cameras and like to deal with photos and people like to listen, download music and burn CDs, Intel has made them much faster. Intel Pentium was born in 1993??? (correct me if I'm wrong) and still continues today. Most PCs are Intel Pentiums. Intel has the Pentium, Pentium Pro (kind of like the "early, early, 1995 version of the Xeon/Itanium, which is a powerful CPU), Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4. Now they are just called Pentiums, with subtitles like duo-core, quad-core, etc. Intel Pentiums are mainstream processors, with the Xeon/Itanium, which are workstation and server computer processors, being the upper stream processors.
Older X86 Architecture that was primarily used as a replacement for Socket 5. Commonly used for the Intel P5 Pentium processors. Also used for AMD K5 and K6 processors. Supported speeds from as low a 70mhz to 233mhz.
The Pentium 4 got it's name because it was the next series of Intel's flagship CPU line after the Pentium III.
The most popular entry level SMP systems use the x86 instruction set architecture and are based on Intel's Xeon, Pentium D, Core Duo & Core 2 Duo based processors and AMD's athlon64 X2, Quad FX or Opteron 200 & 2000 Series.
Both processors are very reliable but the main difference is with performance. I currently have 2 computers with Intel Pentium and 2 with AMD. The Intel Pentium are more geared to the buisness side of the computer world and the AMD are much better for gaming applications, even though they do a fine job on the buisness side as well. It really comes down to one's preference and the type of applications the computer will be running.
The Intel Pentium 4 core cannot be changed to an "i-series" core (i3, i5, i7) because the architecture is completely different (and frankly, out of date). The only way to have a i-series processor is to buy a new computer which has one. The Intel Pentium series was discontinued in 2008. The Intel i-series began in 2010.
The Pentium is a PC chip, or what oldschoolers call "IBM-compatible." i.e, non-Mac.Since the Pentium (and the stuff it attaches to) IS the computer, I'm guessing what you're really asking is, what will the Pentium processor run?It'll run Windows (and keep in mind that there have been Pentium processors since 1995, so you'll want to figure out whichPentium you have before you run out and buy Windows 7.They'll also run Linux (including Ubuntu), Unix, and other OS's - - essentially (again), if it's not the Mac OS, it'll probably run on a PC.
Pentium D is nothing but 2 Prescott Processors side by side…When it runs, it tends to get very hot, and is hence not a good OverClocker…Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors from Intel on 65 nm platform… developed from Ground Up with new architecture called Core… so they are whole new Processors.Expect one Core 2 Duo Lowest End Processors like E4400/E4300 taking up and beating Intel Pentium D 3.8 GHz ones with ease … runs damn cool and super over clocker…Intel Dual Core Processors are just launched striped down version of Core 2 Duos.. there are 2 in the market for Desktop range, E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB and E2160 with 1.8 GHz with same specs of E2140…. these are not Pentium D rather they are same batch like Core 2 Duo based on the new Core Technology…. they perform same like Core 2 Duos but they were launched with a very low price to counter the market of super low cost but high performer AMD X2 range line up to AMD X2 4000….
Celeron doesn't refer to any particular processor series. Celerons were cost-reduced versions of their Pentium equivalents. The Celeron in question could be based on a Pentium 2, Pentium 3, Pentium 4, Pentium D, or Core 2 Duo. In which case the answers would be "Pentium 3, Usually Pentium 3, Celeron, Celeron, and Celeron", respectively.
