What's the difference...?

What's the difference between an Intel Pentium and Intel Celron processor?
Thanks!

Maybe that will help?

Celerons are cheaper and lower quality. They have lower front side bus frequencies and a smaller cache.

This makes then perform more poorly (than a Pentium) at a similar clock frequency.

Also, Celeron D processors are single core, while Pentium D processors are dual core.

Thanks for the info...!

There are more types than just Intel Celeron(R) and Pentium(R). Celeron(R) isn't as fast and powerful as Pentium(R).

Well, actualy lets say I have Intel Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz (Which I do have) and Intel Pentium(R) CPU 2.40GHz. The Pentium would be much better and faster than Celeron at the same speed.

Usually, between a Celeron and Pentium both running at (say) 2GHz, the Pentium would be faster.

Thanks for the info I was wondering the same thing as CoolFinalFan was about the diffrence between the two chip types.
