It used to be (reasonably) clear from the names which processors were "better" than others: an 80386 was clearly "100 better" than an 80286.
However, that's all out the window now, especially with Intel, whose current naming system appears deliberately designed to confuse consumers. This makes a certain amount of sense: consumers for the most part don't buy chips directly from Intel, they buy preassembled computers from OEMs, and the OEMs kind of like that consumers can't immediately tell at a glance if a computer with an i3-7389 processor is going to be faster or slower than one with an i5-2347... the ones that use the slower chips especiallylike this.
(In contrast, AMD appears to mainly be playing it straight with their model numbers; an 1100T really is faster than a 1090T, for example.)
You'd need to post specific model numbers for us to answer the question.
A Centrino is a lower-powered chip designed for portable computers (laptops). The brand name "Celeron" was introduced as a lower-cost (and at least in some cases, deliberately crippled; you could do minor surgery on the circuit board to "convert" a Celeron into a PII in some cases) alternative to the more powerful Pentium II. Both Centrino and Celeron are indicators that a chip is probably not as fast as its Intel iX-randomnumber contemporaries, but there's no real ordering of the two relative to each other in general that I'm aware of.

How much faster Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 than Intel Celeron 585?
non!!! Intel celeron is better than Intel Pentium dual core
Is Intel Pentium 2.13 GHz better than Intel celeron 2.3GHz?
it seems celeron is better unless Pentium has 2 cores
Which is better Intel Centrino Duo or Intel Celeron?
Dual Core is better as it has two processing cores, Higher Clock Speed, Bigger FSB, Bigger Cache and it is built for multitasking but it does not mean that Centrino is bad as it is designed for NOTEBOOK Computer and does not give lower performance. Guy above me is wrong He asked about Centrino duo which IS a dual core. The Centrino platform is going to be a LOT faster than the Pentium Dual-Core. Centrino means you're getting a Core 2 Duo processor, Intel chipset, and Intel wireless. Core 2 Duo processors are much faster than Pentium Dual Core processors. These 2 guys above me are wrong... na just kidding i just really wanted to say that :D
What is the difference between the Intel core 2 duo blue stickers with the Intel centrino core 2 duo pink stickers?
The main difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo blue stickers and the Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo pink stinkers is the wireless networking features. The Centrino offers more networking features than the non-Centrino.
Which is the better processor an AMD Athlon 64 X2 or an Intel Centrino?
That depends. Centrino is more of a technology used on processors, rather than a processor itself. Look at the actual processor type when you are looking at the specs. if it is a Mobile Pentium, the Athlon 62x2 is a better processor in most cases. However, if it is anything from the Core Duo or Core2 Duo line, they will be better than the Athlon in most cases.
Is the Pentium 4 better than the Intel Centrino Duo?
unless you have the highest end Pentium m processor, (its at 780 i think, 2.26ghz) the middle line duo is better, even if its rating, in gigahertz is less. after all, its just a number, in the real world when you and i run applications, usually more than one at a time, duo can multitask more efficiently.
What is better a Intel celeron with 384 mb of ram or an athlon with 2 gb of ram?
Celeron is intels low-cost processor. It is meant for people who do not require a powerhouse CPU, and thus has a bit less processing power than its non-celeron equivalent. AMD's low-cost alternative to the athlon is the duron. So you have a choice between a low-cost intel, and a high-dollar AMD, which is pretty much a draw. When you add the 2gb or RAM, it becomes obvious that the AMD is going to be the better performer.
Why was the first Intel Celeron processor not as popular as expected?
The original Intel Celeron processor was not as popular as expected because it lacked the level 2 cache to help reduce the price of the processor. With no level 2 cache, the processor acted much slower than the competitor processors.
Differences between Intel centrino 2 core 2 duo and Intel Pentium core 2 duo?
The major difference is that an Intel Core processor is 32-bit, while Intel Core 2 processors support 64-bit operation. At the same clock speed, L2 cache, and FSB, they will perform about the same.
Why is Pentium better than celeron?
It is and it isn't. Intel has packaged a large number of different processors as "pentium 2" and "celeron." The celeron tended to be the "budget processor," but due to availability the Celeron frequently was actually a real Pentium 2. The Celerons were labeled and set to report that they were weaker than they really were. This is where overclocking comes in. Overclockers found that Celerons could be overclocked just as well as the Pentium 2 chips on certain production runs. A little more research showed what actually was going on.
Is a Intel Celeron 900 2.20 a fast processer?
No, unfortunately. Not in today's world of computing. It's a single-core processor running at a slow 2.2 gigahertz. The new Celerons, however, are dual-cores, which makes them twice as efficient, and have higher clock speeds, up to 2.7 gigahertz. The Celeron E3300, E3400, and E3500 all are much better processors than the Celeron 900, and are all available for less than $65.
Which processor is better an amd athlon or an Intel celeron 1.8ghz?
all Intel CPU's are better than amd (end of) get anything in the core 2 duo range or quad core if you have enough cash skt 775 with fsb of 800-1333 with a speed of 2.0ghz upwards or you could try xeon or itanium CPU's but they are real expensive
