Pentium / Celeron

[Wingfan]

What is the difference between these?

[techguru]

speed

and cost

[NeatSquidYT]

Celerons are always single cores, whereas Pentiums are 1 or 2 cores.

Correct me if I'm wrong. There's also a  price and speed difference

*Some* celerons are single cores, whereas pentiums (at least modern ones) are always dual cores (on desktop- some laptop bay trails are quad cores).

 

Usually there's a cache and clock speed difference between the two.

Celeron single cores???????????????????? LOL

We live in a weird world, there's dual core i7s and quad core pentiums.

That's only the mobile line up I believe. I been researching cheap convertibles, and its not as simple as the desktop line up.

But basically Pentium is a faster cheap then a Celeron

I was thinking of slot Pentiums too where they were single core, but yeah.

So for a very "Basic" home PC (web browsing, YouTube, etc no gaming) a Celeron would be fine? Ive never owned one, just curious.

[Blebekblebek]

Celeron 2MB Cache

Pentium 3MB Cache

 

that's about it for today CPU

 

all Celeron/Pentium you see on market (based on Sandy/Ivy/Haswell core) are Dual Core.

Yes.

[SWAGGA]

celeron is cheaper and  slower, but the haswell celerons also have 2 cores, the pentium has more l3 cache, but I dont know if they have an iGPU

[Blebekblebek]

all celeron and pentium have iGPU (but just Intel HD, without any numbers)

Actually, LGA1150 Celerons are all dual-cores, and so are all Pentiums. If there still were single-core Pentiums, the G3258 would be one as that is actually in the low-end range of Pentiums.
