Intel is so confusing.

Intel is over 30 years old, therefore there will be CPUs that you don't know of.

 

Centrino were exactly what @qwertywarrior said they are. As for Intel's processor lines, here is the way it is now (lowest end to highest end):

 

Atom, Celeron, Pentium, i3, i5, i7, Xeon, Itanium

Posted

Today at school I had to use a laptop and apparently it had an intel centrino... WHAT IS THAT!?!. From the beginning I thought it went Pentium, i3, i5, i7. But then @nixproducer told me there was something called a Celeron existed. So what order do they go in? Centrino, Celeron, Pentium, i3, i5, i7? Also am I missing other CPUs?lol

centrino is a package its not a cpu

 

The Centrino brand represents Intel Wi-Fi and WiMAX adapters. It was formerly a platform-marketing initiative from Intel until January 7, 2010.

 

Previously, the brand covered a particular combination of mainboard chipset, mobile CPU and wireless network interface in the design of a laptop. Intel claims systems equipped with these technologies deliver better performance, longer battery life and broad wireless network interoperability.

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Centrino isn't a CPU...

There were Centrino chips in the past, but they were just branded like the viiv CPUs.
