Celeron, Duron, Athlon...

[Sakuragikun]

I'm new to this things... can someone tell me the newest speed for these three processors, and what's the difference? Are they all AMD processors?

Celeron is Intel, Duron and Athlon is by AMD.

Look at my processor database for the latest speeds (link in my sig.)

Differences are in the cache size (mainly L2). I am not sure in the actual size of them, but that is what differs the Athlon from the Duron (and the Pentium from the Celeron). There are also a few other things, but that's irrelevant for now.

Duron is slower than the Athlons (by around 10%).

Celeron is slower than the pentiums (by around 15-20%).

The Morgan core for the Duron is especially nice, and improves speed a lot.
