Why people are not choosing celeron processors?

I found that it is cheaper than pentium and amd processors.
what is the difference between these processors? Buying celeron processor will affect the systems performance?. Which is latest in celeron and what is the compatibility motherboard. will this support the latest graphic games and the other operations

 

Yes it will afect system performance.
Celeron it's a mainstream or low end processor.
If you want to game go for the T series or at least P series.

 

Another thing is that Celeron doesn't support Intel SpeedStep, meaning that it will be running at full blast, weather it needs to or not, this means more heat and shorter battery life.

 

Celerons are, as of right now, all single-core, compared to the Pentium Dual Cores and Core 2 Duos. Its power management leaves much to be desired as well. Thus, if you're going to play games, a Celeron will not be sufficient for the latest titles.

 

I can attest to that. The Pentium M destroys the celeron single core line

 

Celerons are probably the lowest end processors available after the Atom (which at least has the virtue of extremely low power consumption). When compared to one core of a Core 2 Duo running at the same clock speed, a Celeron is around 2.5 times slower (I checked this with an old desktop at my parents' house and my laptop). It also tends to have much less cache than contemporary Intel processors and games aren't happy about that.

 

Old celerons can't be compared to the newer ones, though the newer ones aren't good anyways.

 

This is wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...rom-1024.22_.28standard-voltage.2C_65_nm.29_2 . Loot at the t1600 and t1700 ( latest celerons ) they support eist ( enhanced intel stepspeed technolgy) so they are just as good now exept they lack l2 cache and fsb

 

Celerons are lower in every level. So, they are slower.

If you want to save a little money, a Celeron is ok. But its worth it to get a Core 2 Duo, or even Pentium over one.

 

celerons are awful! just awful
I had one in my inspiron 1000. OMG it was bad. Overheated so so so much. It might not have supported speedstep but it sure liked downgrading itself to a 1/3rd of the speed and freezing my computer

 

Celery processors had a hard time back in the days they were introduced. Stripped of all the features that made the P4 a semi good CPU (well, back then it was semi good) so it ran slower than a slow thing on a go slow competition day. They were outperformed by P2 chips when it came to number crunching which is why they were given such a bad name, but they were cheap and people not in the know used to buy them because they were cheap Intels.

The newer Celery chips (based off the Core 2 technology) are not as bad as the old ones, there are now some dual core Celery's out there and they can perform with the pack but for a small bit extra you can get a fully fledged processor that is able to number crunch twice as fast so there is not much point unless you are just doing email and word processing etc.

Now the Atom CPU has been released the Celery is back to being the hotter, less power efficient brother as they both have similar performance figures but the Atom does it with a lot less power.

 

the newest dual core celerons are actually okay, but a pentium dual core is still the better choice if you're in the market for a low-med end chip. the newest pentium dual cores can out perform my old c2d, due to higher clocks. but whatever you do, don't get a single core celeron, they are just aweful.

low end -atom
mid end -pentium dual core or turion/turion ultra
mid high and above - 45nm core 2's

 

The problem is that I think Intel maybe have mostly paper launched these chips or have very limited availability as virtually all celeron's out for sale right now are the older M XXX series. Also the EIST has a ? after it so it's still not confirmed it will even have EIST at all

Back to the OP's question. Until celery's get EIST, I wouldn't even consider them for laptop use as (IT's not uncommon to see a laptop switch from a celeron to core 2 duo chip and gain an hour in battery life!) 1. They use way too much power for so little performance. 2. Too much heat.

Even if you were to use it for desktop replacement use and have it plugged in all the time it's still too slow for that class of laptop. Basically Celeron's exist for the sole reason of "loss-leader" laptops that retailers can hock on black friday for $299.
