What is the difference between a Celeron processor and a Pentium processor?
A- Celeron processors, manufactured by Intel, were introduced in 1998 and rivaled the Pentium II processor for performance. With the introduction of the Pentium III, Pentium II processors were eliminated from Intel’s production line. Celeron processors continue to be manufactured today and are less expensive, providing consumers with alternative purchasing options. Choosing Celeron over a Pentium III or the most recent Pentium IV processor is one of personal preference, keeping in mind however, that you are comparing almost 4 year old technology to current technology.
