What is an Intel Celeron and Pentium?In: Microprocessors |
[Edit] |
Intel Celeron is a "budget" processor for less-intensive computing tasks such as e-mailing, light web surfing and word processing. Since people have digital cameras and like to deal with photos and people like to listen, download music and burn CDs, Intel has made them much faster.
Intel Pentium was born in 1993??? (correct me if I'm wrong) and still continues today. Most PCs are Intel Pentiums. Intel has the Pentium, Pentium Pro (kind of like the "early, early, 1995 version of the Xeon/Itanium, which is a powerful CPU), Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4. Now they are just called Pentiums, with subtitles like duo-core, quad-core, etc. Intel Pentiums are mainstream processors, with the Xeon/Itanium, which are workstation and server computer processors, being the upper stream processors.
