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.
You can play games on laptops with an Intel celeron processor, but not all games.
Intel
No. The Celeron and Pentium Ms predate the Intel Core line by several years.
There are Celeron dual core processors today. However, just because you have Celeron processor, it does not mean your Celeron processor is a dual core processor. The easiest way to tell is to look at the Intel sticker on your computer. If it says "Dual Core," then it is dual core. If it does NOT say "Dual Core," then it is not dual core.

Intel celeron is the lowest processor Intel offers. Below is the list from best to worst: Intel core i7 Intel core i5 Intel core 2 quad Intel core 2 duo Intel core 2 solo Intel pentium Intel celeron For laptops: Intel core i7 Intel core 2 extreme Intel core 2 quad Intel core 2 duo Intel centrino Intel pentium Intel celeron
I believe I read somewhere that the Intel Celeron line was the equivalent to the sempron line
Allot of games will support this processor
As the Celeron D is a product line and not a specific processor, there is no specific comparable processor. Depending on the model. the Celeron D is comparable in performance to various Athlon 64, Athlon XP, and Sempron processors.
yes
the Core, the Pentium, the Celeron, and the Atom families
The Celeron D is a single core processor because that is how Intel designed it.Sounds trite, but that is the truth. Each processor chip is designed to meet a particular performance / price ratio, and that is how the Celeron D turned out. Simple, eh?
