Pentium 2 computers were only marginally better than Pentium computers and were seen as good systems in their day. Nowadays, they are considered slow and there is not much use for them. None of them had multiple cores nor were they hyperthreading. You won't find a modern operating system that will run on them except maybe some Linux distribution.

What is better an Intel Pentium III or an Intel Celeron?

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.


What is the equivalent core 2 duo processor to the Pentium d 945?

There is none. The Pentium D is based upon an older architecture and is slower, at any speed, than any Core 2 Duo processor.


What are the risks of Pentium 2?

The Pentium is not a risk architecture.


Can you give a List of Intel CPU?

Pentium Duo Quad, Pentium core duo, Pentium D, Xeon, Itanium, Pentium M, Pentium 4, Celeron, Pentium 3, Pentium 2, Pentium Pro, 486, 386, 286.


Is an Intel Pentium dual core processor equal to a Pentium 4?

No. It is far more efficient. Essentially, it is a cost-reduced version of the Core 2 Duo, but it is still more powerful than any Pentium 4.


What is considered Pentium III or higher?

Any processor that is an Intel Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium D, Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, or Core i7, as well as most AMD Athlons, AMD Athlon 64, AMD Athlon 64 X2, and AMD Phenom.


Will a Pentium 4 processor fit a Pentium 2?

No, it will not. Pentium 2 fits two sockets (with adapter for one of them) 350 and 370. When Pentium 4 fits three different sockets 423, 478, and 775.


What is main difference between Pentium 4 and Pentium 5 processor?

There is no Pentium 5 processor. The mainstream (non-budget) Pentium line ends with the Pentium D, which is essentially a dual-core Pentium 4. The Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad all have a very different architecture from the Pentium 4.


Is Pentium dual core processor the same as Pentium d processor?

No. A Pentium Dual Core is a cost-reduced version of a Core 2 Duo. Think of it as the new equivalent of a Celeron. The Pentium D is basically a dual-cored version of the Pentium 4, but is far less efficient than a Core 2 Duo (or a Pentium Dual Core).


Are there 2 cores in Pentium d processors?

Yes. The "D" after Pentium stands for "duo" as in dual core (2 cores)


Pentium 4 packages use what 2 sockets?

Pentium 4 sockets were sockets numbers Socket 423 for early Pentium 4's. Then socket 478 for Pentium 4, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and Celeron and socket T (LGA 775) for Pentium 4, Pentium D dual core, Celeron D and Pentium Extreme Edition.


How many ALU units does the Intel Pentium D have?

It has 4 ALU units. A Pentium 4 has 2 ALU units. The Pentium D is like 2 P4's....sooo..... 2 cores x 2 ALU's each = 4
