Intel Centrino or Intel Duo?

Wich of the two (Intel Centrino Duo or Intel Core Duo) Is the best, and what are the difference's?

 

They're basically the same. Intel Centrino Duo means the laptop has an Intel Core Duo + An Intel Chipset + An Intel Wireless Card...

Intel Centrino (without the Duo) is the same, except it uses either an Intel Pentium M or and Intel Core Solo...

The Core Duo is better than the Pentium M or the Core Solo, because Core Duo is dual core, while the other two are not. Therefore...

Intel Centrino Duo = Intel Core Duo > Intel Centrino = Pentium M or Core Solo

 

eRm... They are the same thing. The one that says Centrino is just a sticker saying you bought a more expensive sticker XD

 

If it says centrino duo, then u have the core duo cpu, intel chipset and intel wireless. If it just says core duo, then u have the core duo cpu, but some random chipset and some random wireless.

So the only difference between a kia and a ferarri is the "more expensive sticker" tellin pple u bought a more expensive badge, but the rest of the machine is exactly the same as the other?

 

Centrino is an initiative by Intel to supply the world with a solid framework to build laptops around (and to sell chipsets). Core Duo is a processor. Mostly stolen from Wikipedia:

Centrino is a platform-marketing initiative from Intel, covers a particular combination of CPU, mainboard chipset and wireless network interface in the design of a laptop personal computer. The following are the different generations of Centrino.

Carmel:
Intel used Carmel as the code name for the first-generation Centrino platform launched in March 2003. The Carmel platform consists of:

-Intel Pentium M processor (code named Banias or later Dothan)
-400MB/s FSB,
-Intel 855 series chipset (code named Odem or Montara)
-Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802.11b) mini-PCI WiFi adapter (code named Calexico or Calexico2).

Sonoma:
Intel used Sonoma as the code name for the second-generation Centrino platform, launched in January 2005. The Sonoma platform consists of:

-Intel Pentium M processor (code-named Dothan)
-533MB/s FSB
-Intel Mobile 915 Express series chipset (code-named Alviso)
-Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 or 2915ABG mini-PCI WiFi adapter (code-named Calexico2).
-Support for DDR2, PCI Express, Intel High Definition Audio, and SATA

Napa:
The code-name Napa designates the third-generation Centrino platform, introduced in January 2006 at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show. The Napa platform consists of:

-Intel Core processor (Core Duo or Core Solo, code-named Yonah) and first-generation Core 2 processors (Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Solo, code-named Merom)
-533MB/s FSB
-Intel Mobile 945 Express-series chipset (code-named Calistoga), an
-Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG mini-PCIe WiFi adapter (code-named Golan).

Intel changed its Centrino branding to include Centrino Duo branding for laptops with dual-core ("Core Duo") processors and retains the Centrino name for laptops with single core ("Core Solo") processors.

Santa Rosa:
The code-name Santa Rosa refers to the fourth-generation Centrino platform, scheduled for release this winter. The Santa Rosa platform consists of:

-Second-generation Intel Core 2 processor (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Solo, code named Merom)
-800MB/s front side bus that uses Socket P
-Intel Mobile 965 Express chipset (code named Crestline)
-X3000 and 3000 series IGP, Intel's fourth-generation graphics technology
-Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n mini-PCIe WiFi adapter (code named Kedron)
-NAND flash-memory caching (code-named Robson)
-WWAN Internet access via cellular networks (code-named Windigo)
-UEFI, a successor to BIOS.
-hardware-level drive encryption

 

Um, I could have sworn that Intel Centrino ment that it had the Core Duo processor + wireless technology and the Intel Centrino Duo was renamed cause it had the newer Core 2 Duo processor.

Centrino has been around since the Pentium M days, ScifiMike. Centrino Duo just denotes the Core Duo being there.

 

Well I figured that but I just saw that webpage and I thought it was correct. Guess not.

No, that is way diferent. Ferarri's have v-10 and Kis is lucky to get 4.
