What is a 2.6GHZ Celeron equivalent too?
Is it better or worse than an Athlon xp 1600?

 

[stevty2889]

It would depend on what you are doing..

 

[Regs]

Well you are comparing a 90 dollar cpu to a 60 dollar CPU. You can get a 2500 Barton AMD for the same price of the Celeron.

If you really want to know, the 1600 would still be better in games then the original Celeron. Celerons are not for intensive uses.

If anything, the Celeron at 2.6 GHz is equivalent too a 1.8 Ghz AMD Duron.

Performance wise, an Athlon XP 1600, 1700, or a 2ghz p4 would be comparable to a 2.6ghz celeron.

Thank You
That was just what I was looking for

If it's a Celeron D, which would be 2.66 I guess, it'd be a different story.

celerron is intended for word processing and internet uses

[StrangerGuy]

A 2.6GHz Celeron is slower than a 1.6GHz Duron. Go figure.

Your a noob man. You called me a liar, yet the link you gave us shows that the cpus i mentioned are faster, but close nonetheless to the celly 2.6. :roll:

 

[CraigRT]

Any Celeron chip should only be used for MS Word and email.

 

[Andres3605]

if you have a celeron i feel sorry for u, unless you just surf and chat, and very soft office suites, talking about games you may have no lag in solitaire ok maybe little slow downs.

And you're a dumbass who needs to spend more time in English class and brush up on his reading comprehension.

The absolute and brutal bitchification - with the except of one victory by the Celeron - laid down by the Athlons in the linked article do not show "comparable" traits any more than my Honda Civic can "compare" to a Porsche Carrera GT. I won't even bother factoring in the price difference.

In conclusion, STFU. :beer:

Man, that Ozone hole must have shifted from OT to GH. That burn hurts.

The Celerons also do very well for media encoding.

C++ compilation on the other hand, well lets not talk about it.

Ever heard of being conservative? I am in no way defending intel, if thats how i sound, i hate intel.

 

[ZobarStyl]

M4H definitely gets the style points for the Mark Twain allusion tossed in on top one of my favorite AT articles...I used to have that one bookmarked under "why you don't buy a Dell" and would show it to people I built rigs for to show them exactly why the 2.6 Celly was in fact a piece, and nothing more.

 

[3chordcharlie]

roughly equivalent to a ford pinto.

No, actually they don't. Did you bother to read the link provided?

When we can find a 1.6GHz Duron for just over half the price of a 2.6GHz Celeron and get better performance consistently in almost every test we ran, the choice is clear.
