wizardofwindows Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 a friend ask me is a genuine P2-400mhz faster than a celeron 400?im not sure anyone know? thxz in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Of course regular pentium is faster then celeron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanin Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 'tis indeed faster. They tend to use celerons in laptops as far as I know. Hmm...I always get reminded of a certain vegetable when someone says 'celeron'..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interminded Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I read a test a couple of years ago, where it stated that the difference between them in speed is in reality about 5 %.Depends off course on some other factors, but 5 % isn't really that much.

With a lot of number crunching, large caches help a lot, since you're not always running to memory or the hard drive for more information. Man I love my Pentium-M (1MB L2) CPU...

Nerwin Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yes 100% Faster than a celeron, Any cpu is faster than a celeron Belive me i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yes 100% Faster than a celeron, Any cpu is faster than a celeron Belive me i know<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Nope... Celerons are faster than the 286... And the new Celeron D's aren't that bad actually. For an entry level CPU they're pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) But a p4 is faster than celeron am i right? Edited July 27, 2005 by computerMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Well... Hz for Hz, yes...the P4 is faster than Celeron. This is because the Celeron typically has a smaller cache than the P4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoguy Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) heh zxian i have heard that new celeron d's have quite a large amount of cache just a bit slower than P4.btw what's a l2 cache? Edited July 28, 2005 by Technoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agi Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 if I remember correctly Pentium-2 has half-speed cache, and although the celeron has less cache it runs full-speed, so the performance difference is negligable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technoguy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 well yeah for same mhz p4 is gonna burn celeron as nethin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
