What is the difference betweeen Intel Centrino vs. Inter Core Duo?
Centrino IS NOT A PROCESSOR (despite misinformed people on here stating otherwise), it’s a platform. For a current system to be labeled Centrino it must have specific Intel chipsets (855/915/945), coupled with specific Intel processors (Pentium M, Core Solo/Core 2 Duo) and Intel’s 3945 Pro Wireless chipset. So, to answer your question, a Centrino notebook is one that can have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, but also has to have a certain chipset and the Intel Pro Wireless chip to be called “Centrino”.
