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.
Not by any means. The Intel Centrino Duo is more power efficient, cooler, and generally faster than a Pentium 4.
No. The Pentium predates the Pentium D by more than a decade.
non!!! Intel celeron is better than Intel Pentium dual core
it seems celeron is better unless Pentium has 2 cores
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
The difference between a Pentium and a Centrino is that the Pentium and Core Duo, etc, are configured with the Centrino containing less capability and being marketed at a lower cost point than the Pentium branded product.
Both processors are in the Pentium Dual Core family. The Pentium Dual Core E2200 is better than the other.
Yes.
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.
It depends, but usually Intel is better. Older AMD processors (compared against the early Pentium 4) were much faster, however.
As a whole, the Pentium 4 has a higher maximum performance than a Pentium III. The Pentium III performs the same as or better than Pentium 4 at the same clock speed, but the Pentium 4 has a higher max clock speed (which the Pentium 4 was designed for).
On the contrary
Better or worse, it depends.
