Which is better Intel celeron m or Intel Pentium dual core?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both are designed to run "slower" in order to save battery life. That is, the internal clockspeed -- the number of activities that can be performed per second -- is slower than a comparable non-M series chip. However, they have a greater amount of throughput, meaning they have more pathways to send data down (rather than sending the data faster on a smaller amount of paths).

Between those two specific lines, however, Pentium is faster (and thus more expensive). The Celeron line of chips was designed specifically to be a cheaper (and thus less efficient) option.

What are the i3 i5 and i7 processors and how are they better than the Core 2 series?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Intel "iCore" line is Intel's newest line of processors. The lowest, the i3, is to replace the Core 2 Duo series while the i5 replaces the Core 2 Quad series. The i7 is a brand new series quad-core series. The iCore ranges from a dual-core (i3) up to the newest addition, a hexa-core (i7 Extreme).

The best feature about the iCore line is their HyperThreading Technology, meaning it has two processing threads per core. Basically it means that a dual-core will simulate a quad-core while a quad-core simulates an octa-core. It also utilises a new architecture, so if you have the older Core 2 processors, you'll need a new motherboard to support an iCore upgrade. Data transfer speeds are a lot faster due to the replacement of the frontside bus by Intel's Quickpath InterConnect.

What is better amd phenom II or amd turion?

Asked by Wiki User

Turion 64 is based on Athlon 64's architecture, and the main difference between Turion 64 and Athlon 64 Mobile is

the power consumption, which is lower on Turion 64: Athlon 64 Mobile dissipates 65 W while Turion 64 dissipates only

35 W (ML models) or 25 W (MT models). Another difference between them is the amount of L2 cache, which is always of 1 MB

on Athlon 64 Mobile, while Turion 64 can have a L2 memory cache of 512 KB or 1 MB, depending on the model

In addition - Athlon was developed mainly for desktop and turion for laptops Answer

Overall Athlon range is economy version and has less performance compared to Turion which are relatively high end processors. Although initially Athlon name was used only for desktop processors, later both Turion and Athlon brands have been used for dual core processors designed for notebook computers. Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is AMD's most advanced family of dual-core processors made for mobility to date. Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is a more affordable relatively lower performance range of processors for notebook PCs. Exact specification and performance numbers depends on the model number of the processor in respective families.

The Intel 8085 is not even in the same class as the Intel Core 2. The architecture and instruction set is vastly different. The 8085 is an 8 bit machine, running on an 8-bit bus, with at most 64kb of RAM/ROM. The Core 2 is a 32/64 bit machine, running on 32/64/128 bit buses, with potentially more than 4gb of RAM/ROM. This is like comparing an original Volkswagon Beetle with an Indy Car.

What is a core?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Core is the centre part of any celestial body.

<<>>

In electrical terms a core is an iron frame that wire coils are wrapped around to concentrate the magnetic flux that surrounds a wire when current flows through it. A good example of a core is in a transformer where both the primary and secondary windings are wound on to the same core. The magnetic flux that surrounds the primary coil when it draws a current will cut the secondary coil and induce a voltage into it. The core concentrates and directs the lines of magnetic force for maximum use by the secondary coil.

How do you setup cmos?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most computers have a keystroke (usually esc, del, or F12) that will interrupt the boot sequence when you start your computer. In the past, this would be when the white text flies across the screen displaying memory available, hard disk sizes, etc. This will get you into the BIOS for "cmos setup".

CMOS is a type of memory that does not lose its data on power loss. In earlier computers, this is where the boot up configuration was stored; hence the phrase, "setup cmos"

What is the advantage in many cores in the microprocessor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Modern integrated circuit technology is reaching limits of small size and high speed that are getting harder and harder to overcome. However putting multiple processors on one chip allows microprocessor manufacturers to work around this by letting the operating system assign independent processes to different processor cores, converting a serial problem into a parallel one. The speed of an n core processor approaches asymptotically the speed of one processor running n times as fast. At a far cheaper price than that hypothetical high speed uniprocessor would cost with current technology.

What are the advantage of 80486 processor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Intel 80286 chip was used in the IBM AT computer, introduced in 1984. They are fine for DOS, although the clocking speeds are slow by modern standards. If you try to run Windows on a 286-based PC, it will run VERY slowly and only in Standard Mode (assuming you have 2 MB of RAM installed). The Virtual Memory capabilities of the 286 are very inefficient. Swapping is performed at segment level (using 64 KB chunks). The method of switching between Real Mode (used to access the first 1 MB of Conventional Memory) and Protected Mode (above 1 MB) is very cumbersome. As well as the slow clocking speed, the other main disadvantage of this chip is that, like the 8086 chip, the data and address lines are multiplexed (i.e. the same lines are used for addressing and data

What is the difference between an Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor and the Intel Pentium III Xeon processor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Pentium III provided two execution units on one chip. This is sort of like two cores, but with important limitations. The issue is that the two execution units share the same high level bus interface. This means that the two threads considered for simultaneous dispatch must be in the same address space, i.e. in the same process. This is wonderful for programs designed to use multi-threading, but does nothing for two programs running as two different processes. The Dual Core architecture moved the dividing line down further into the bus interface. Now the OS can dispatch both execution units, even if they are running in different address spaces.

Is AMD processors are better then Intel processors?

User Avatar

Asked by ArnabKundu

Typically AMD processors are known to run much cooler than Intel processors. The reason for this is based on the processing architecture of the processor. AMD processors are typically much more efficient with respect to performance per watt than Intel processors, and therefore typically are much cooler.

It varies by computer/motherboard manufacturer. If it is a system from a well known company like HP, Dell, Acer, etc, you can look on their web pages and generally get the answer.

Alternately, many times you can press esc when the first splash screen appears and it will show you the actual DOS boot process. If so, look at the bottom of the screen on the left hand side for message on what key to press to enter setup. On my particular system, you have to press F2.

What is the meaning of dual core core 2 duo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A processing core is a complete, independent processor. Each core has its own ALUs, fetch-execute cycles, pipelines, and cache, but shares some support circuitry with the rest of the processor. A dual-core processor simply means that there are two independent processors in a single package.

Is 2.16 ghz processor is better then the 2.4 ghz processor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Processor speed is one of those tricky things that's really hard to grasp. Most retailers and computer junkies will refer to a processor's speed by the processor's clock speed (in Hertz, Hz). This is usually an indicator on how fast the processor will work. Unfortunately, that's not always true.

For example, a single-core 2.16 GHz processor will not perform near as well as a dual-core 2 GHz processor. In general, newer processors that have many cores will throw clock speed ratings out the window. (For a more accurate definition of speed, try to find out how many "flops", or calculations per second, a processor can do. This is more commonly seen on supercomputers.)

Assuming that these are both single-core processors, a clock speed of 2.16 GHz would be faster than a clock speed of 2 GHz. If either of these are multi-core, however, it's probably better to go with more cores.

Celeron is Intels bottom range of processors, and in fairness you would'nt be using a celeron for anything more than a bit of web browsing and mail and maybe a bit of word processing or something simple.

The atom, I think the biggest breakthrough here is that its very easy on power. From what i have seen this processor is not going to be doing anything very demanding. Its being used in the Acer One and some other "small" laptops.
