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.
Intel centrino-dio is better for the current market.
Centrino = better perfomance, less heat and less power consumption. The centrino is based on the newer Intel Conroe architecture.
Intel Centrino Duo is used to refer to a package in laptops consisting of an Intel Core series processor, Intel Chipset, and Intel Wireless card.
i personally prefer Intel core 2 duo
Amd is just awesome then intel.
The Intel chip is faster and is easier to overclock than the athlon.
AMD Athlon for sure. ♥
The Centrino Duo processor made by the company Intel has two cores. It is implied in the name "Duo" , which can be translated as "two", "double" or "twice".
The Intel 6th Generation i7 is much better than the AMD Athlon.
Centrino
Centrino manufacture Intel wireless products. They are for the processor of computers and laptops. As the years go, the technology is always advancing and the Centrino products never disappoint.
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
