Hello everyone. In fact, the difference between Celeron and Pentium is minimal. But many users may disagree with me, they say Celeron is much weaker and, in principle, there is some truth here ... And all because it was so before. When there was a 775 socket or an even more ancient 478 socket, then in those days there were mainly two families, this is just Pentium and Celeron. I do not mean quad-core proc on 775 socket, they appeared later.
So. Then Celeron was much weaker. But starting with socket 1156, everything began to change, now Celeron is close to Pentium in performance and some forum users even advise buying it, since the power is almost the same. But I don’t think so, all the same, Penek will be faster ... he has 3 mb of cache, and Celeron has 2 mb ..
And the whole trick is that powerful processors OVER Hemp appeared in socket 775 (but not immediately, but with the release of new chipsets), there were already so-called quads, but there was still a difference between Penko and Celeron. But now it is already minimal. The technical process, modern technologies, in general, today's Celeron (1150 socket) is a couple of times more powerful than the old top-end Pentium 4 EE (775 socket), who would have thought ...
Therefore, the difference between Penko and Celeron fluctuates around 10-15%, this is approximately, but not more than 20%, that's for sure. Basically, like the price
But the truth is that Celeron has one such fatty plus - it is really even colder, that is, it heats up even less than Penek, and in principle it can be used with passive cooling. But at the same time, you need to think over the ventilation in the case, because after all, a radiator with a fan goes with the Celeron for a reason .. * cute *
All that I write here, well, that the difference is small, I mean all modern processors starting from socket 1156. I'll tell you a secret, Celeron G3900, and this is 1151 sockets, frequency 2.8, cache 2 mb, sixth generation Skylake, well now, it will be even more powerful than the quad-core Q9650 on a 775 socket, although the latest Yorkfield core ...!
In general, I do not know what to say. For my opinion is that the difference in price between modern Hemp and modern Celeron is exactly equal to their difference in performance. But there are Penka's models that can be overclocked, for example the Pentium G3258. The overclocked Stump will already be a cut above Celeron, keep that in mind. The price of such a model that supports overclocking (that is, the presence of an unlocked multiplier) is 10-15 bucks higher. But it's worth it, believe me ...
For example, in this test, Celeron falls short of the Hemp level:
And believe me, you may not even notice this difference, especially if the computer is intended for the office ..
Here's another test, and here the situation will also repeat itself, the difference is very small:
Another test:
The tests themselves are not particularly important here, the main thing is that the processors are modern, that is, this is real infa in order to understand the difference.
And here look, Celeron 1037U, Celeron J1900, these are processors that are already in motherboards, that is, they are soldered, they are generally not for ordinary computers, but for media centers. Actually, that's why they lose to desktop Celerons:
Here's another WinRAR test (there is a built-in performance test in the archiver):
Well, I hope that by now you already understand that the difference in price is almost the same as the difference in performance. For an office PC or just for a home PC, I would take Celeron. If you need a gaming PC, and you don't have a lot of money, then take only a Pentium that can be overclocked, for example, these are the G3260, G3258, G3420 models, these are all 1150 sockets. Here is what the CPU-Z program shows about the G3420:
As you can see here 4.5 GHz and believe me this is no longer a joke. And for this you can do without water cooling, it is enough to have a decent radiator with a decent cooler
In one of our previous articles, we have already written about that, now let's approach this issue a little more carefully, namely, we will analyze: "Which is better than AMD or Intel?" The choice of these two companies is not accidental, since they are the main giants in this area, however, even when choosing from two options, users can "get lost", since AMD bribes us with its low prices, and Intel - with powerful characteristics and positive reviews. So what, then, should you give your preference to ?! Let's figure it out!
Each chip has its own architecture, manufacturing process, cache, number of cores and their frequency. Intel and AMD have completely different architecture, which determines the stability and power of the CPU. If you take two processors with the same number of cores and identical clock speeds, you get completely different performance. The site experts, therefore, hint to you that, for example, 4-core processors: AMD Athlon II X4 740 3.2GHz ($ 70) and Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz ($ 200) - will be very different in power. Therefore, cores and frequencies are not an indicator when compared to chips. You need to compare in terms of performance. For such purposes, there are sites where you can choose any processor and see its performance in tests and comparison with the performance of analogs and competitors.
Is it really cheapAMD is better expensiveIntel?
However, despite the above, AMD chips can be considered an excellent solution for a budget PC, and Intel - for the purpose of gaming assembly and other tasks that require a lot of computing power. But Intel also has inexpensive processors. For many, 2-core Pentium and Celeron are known. In terms of performance, they outperform AMD in many tests. But in multitasking with 4-core cheap AMD - they lose a little. If your preference is towards Intel, then we recommend buying the latest generation chip straight away. At the moment it is Haswell with socket 1150.
Comparison and selection of processors (between AMD and Intel) by price range
In the segment up to $ 100- we advise you to choose a processor depending on the tasks. Internet, movies, office programs - Intel would be a great solution. For games, it is already better to buy a 4-core AMD here, since it is tailored for multitasking. An example here will be the same AMD Athlon II X4 740 / 750k / 760k for Socket FM2. Also note that some of the FM2 socket processors (besides the Athlon) have a decent on-board graphics core that replaces the discrete graphics card. It can be used only if your plans do not include entertainment, in the form of powerful games. For games, you only need a discrete video card, and no integrated one can replace it. For the average user (not a gambling addict), an AMD processor with an integrated graphics processor will be enough, while saving on a separate video card and buying at least 4 gigabytes of RAM for the high-quality operation of an integrated video card, since it, without its memory, uses systemic.As for the price of $ 100-150, then the situation is similar. In this segment, Intel has a Core i3 chip, which has 2 cores with hyper threading technology, which makes 2 more virtual cores. That is, the PC recognizes 4 streams. This means that in some tests, the Core i3 will outperform the 4-core AMD FX socket AM3 +. Therefore, for multitasking, the 6-core AMD will be the best solution. But the fact is that many games are sharpened only for 4 cores, and operating systems for one core, and only starting with Windows 8 - for two. Conclusion: there is no point in 6 or 8 cores, since it is better to choose 4 cores with good architecture and high performance. The Core i5 fits perfectly under these parameters, with a price of $ 190. In the highest category, AMD has only 8-core processors, with a difference in frequency and memory cache.
At Intel, the best is the Core i7 processor (4 cores, 8 threads with hyper threading technology). Compared to the competitor, it is far superior to AMD with 8 cores, which, according to some tests, is even comparable to the Core i5. This suggests that 8 cores are just a marketing ploy. In addition, if you look at the AMD architecture, the cores are arranged in blocks of 2. That is, in a 4-core CPU there are 2 blocks, in which there are 2 microprocessors. In a 6-core, there are 3 blocks, etc.
Ultimately, we cannot say for sure and unconditionally which processor is better. We can only give a simple but effective advice: always compare benchmarks for each selected processor... They will show which tasks the desired CPUs do better. Also proceed from the tasks that you put in front of the computer. And only then can you answer the main question: Intel or AMD and choose the right option for yourself.
Also, do not forget that each processor has its own specific type, so most likely you will have to replace it as well. As for, everything is extremely simple here and questions should not arise.
For an office, home or gaming computer, it is not so difficult to choose the right processor. You just need to determine the needs, navigate a little in the characteristics and price ranges. It makes no sense to thoroughly study the smallest nuances, if you are not a "geek", but you need to understand what to pay attention to.
For example, you can look for a processor with a higher frequency and cache memory, but without paying attention to the chip core, you can get into a mess. The core, in fact, is the main factor of performance, and the rest of the characteristics are plus or minus. In general terms, I can say that the more expensive a product is in the line of one manufacturer, the better, more powerful and faster it is. But AMD processors are cheaper than Intel's.
- The processor should be chosen depending on the tasks at hand. If in normal mode you have about two resource-intensive programs running, then it is better to buy a dual-core "stone" with a high frequency. If more threads are used, it is better to opt for a multi-core of the same architecture, albeit with a lower frequency.
- Hybrid processors (with an integrated video card) will save you money on buying a video card, provided that you do not need to play fancy games. These are almost all modern Intel and AMD processors of the A4-A12 series, but AMD has a stronger graphics core.
- Along with all processors marked "BOX", a cooler should be supplied (of course, a simple model, which will not be enough for high loads, but that is what you need to work in the nominal mode). If you need a cool cooler, then.
- The OEM processors are covered by a one-year warranty, and the BOX is covered by a three-year warranty. If the warranty period provided by the store is shorter, it is better to think about looking for another distributor.
- In some cases, it makes sense to buy percent off hand, so you can save about 30% of the amount. True, this method of buying is associated with a certain risk, so you need to pay attention to the availability of a guarantee and the seller's reputation.
Main technical characteristics of processors
Now about some of the characteristics that are still worth mentioning. It is not necessary to delve into, but it will be useful to understand my recommendations for specific models.
Each processor has its own socket (platform), i.e. name of the connector on the motherboard for which it is intended. Whichever processor you choose, be sure to look at socket matching. There are several platforms at the moment.
- LGA1150 - not for top-end processors, used for office computers, gaming and home media centers. Entry-level integrated graphics except Intel Iris / Iris Pro. Already out of circulation.
- LGA1151 is a modern platform, recommended for future upgrades to newer "stones". The processors themselves are not much faster than the previous platform, that is, there is really no point in upgrading to it. But on the other hand, there is a more powerful integrated graphics core of the Intel Graphics series, DDR4 memory is supported, but it does not give a strong performance gain.
- LGA2011-v3 is a top platform designed for building high-performance desktop systems based on Intel X299 system logic, expensive, outdated.
- LGA 2066 (Socket R4) - socket for HEDT (Hi-End) Intel Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors, replaced 2011-3.
- AM1 for weak, energy efficient processors
- AM3 + common socket, suitable for most AMD processors, incl. for high-performance processors without integrated video core
- The AM4 is designed for Ryzen brand Zen microprocessors with and without integrated graphics and beyond. Added support for DDR4 memory.
- FM2 / FM2 + for budget Athlon X2 / X4 variants without integrated graphics.
- sTR4 is a type of connector for the HEDT family of Ryzen Threadripper microprocessors. Similar to server sockets, the most massive and for desktops.
There are outdated platforms that you can buy in order to save money, but you need to take into account that new processors for them will no longer be made: LGA1155, AM3, LGA2011, AM2 / +, LGA775 and others that are not on the lists.
Kernel name. Each line of processes has its own kernel name. For example, Intel now has Sky Lake, Kaby Lake and the newest eighth generation Coffee Lake. AMD has Richland, Bulldozer, Zen. The higher the generation, the more high-performance chip, with lower power consumption, and the more technologies are introduced.
Number of Cores: from 2 to 18 pieces. The bigger, the better. But there is such a moment: programs that do not know how to distribute the load among the cores will run faster on a dual-core processor with a higher clock frequency than on a 4-core processor, but with a lower frequency. In short, if there is no clear technical task, then the rule works: more is better, and the further, the more correct it will be.
Technical process, measured in nanometers, for example - 14nm. Doesn't affect performance, but it does affect CPU heating. Each new generation of processors is manufactured using a new process technology with a lower nm. This means that if you take a processor of the previous generation and approximately the same new one, then the latter will heat up less. But, since new products are made faster, they heat up in about the same way. That is, improving the technical process allows manufacturers to make faster processors.
Clock frequency, is measured in gigahertz, for example - 3.5 GHz. The more, the better, but only within the same series. If you take an old Pentium with a frequency of 3.5 GHz and a new one, the old one will be many times slower. This is because they have completely different kernels.
Almost all "stones" are capable of accelerating, i.e. operate at a higher frequency than that indicated in the characteristics. But this is a topic for those who are versed, tk. you can burn the processor or get a non-working system!
Cache size 1, 2 and 3 levels, one of the key characteristics, the more, the faster. The first level is the most important, the third is less important. Directly depends on the kernel and series.
TDP- dissipated thermal power, well, or how much at maximum load. A lower number means less heating. Without clear personal preferences, you can ignore this. Powerful processors consume 110-220 watts of electricity per load. You can see the diagram of the approximate power consumption of Intel and AMD processors under normal load, the less the better:
Model, series: does not refer to the characteristics, but nevertheless I want to tell you how to understand which processor is better within the same series, without delving into the characteristics too much. Processor name, for example " consists of the series " Core i3 ″ and model numbers "8100". The first number means the line of processors on some core, and the next one is its "performance index", roughly speaking. So, we can estimate that:
- Core i3-8300 is faster than i3-8100
- i3-8100 is faster than i3-7100
- But the i3-7300 will be faster than the i3-8100, despite the younger series, because the 300 strongly more than 100. I think you get the point.
The same goes for AMD.
Are you going to play on the computer?
The next point that needs to be decided in advance: the gaming future of the computer. For Farm Frenzy and other simple online games, any built-in graphics will do. If buying an expensive video card is not included in the plans, but you want to play, then you need to take a processor with a normal graphics core Intel Graphics 530/630 / Iris Pro, AMD Radeon RX Vega Series. Even modern games will run in Full HD 1080p resolution at minimum and medium graphics quality settings. You can play World of Tanks, GTA, Dota and others.
If so, it makes sense to take a processor without integrated graphics at all, and save on this (or get more power for the same price). The circle can be narrowed in this way:
- AMD has FX series processors for AM3 + platform and A12 / 10/8/6/4 hybrid solutions, as well as Athlon X4 for FM2 + / AM4
- Intel has SkyLake and Kaby Lake series processors for LGA1151 and LGA2066 platforms and outdated BroadWell-E for LGA2011-v3 (there are only a few models).
You also need to take into account that a powerful video card and a processor need to match. I will not give clear answers to questions like "what processor is needed for this video card". This question needs to be studied independently by reading the relevant reviews, tests, comparisons, forums. But I will give a couple of recommendations.
First, you need at least a 4-core processor. Even more cores will not add much fps in games. At the same time, it turns out that 4-core AMD are better suited for games than 2-core Intel at the same or even less price.
Secondly, you can orient yourself like this: the cost of the processor is equal to the cost of the video card. In fact, despite dozens of models, making the right choice is not difficult.
AMD note
The most budgetary line is called "Sempron". With each new generation, performance improves, but still these are the weakest processors. Recommended only for working with office documents, surfing the Internet, watching videos and music.
The company has a series of FX - these are obsolete top-end chips for the AM3 + platform. All have an unlocked multiplier, i.e. they are easy to overclock (if necessary). There are 4, 6 and 8 core models. Supports automatic overclocking technology - Turbo Core. Only DDR3 memory works. Better when the platform works with DDR4.
There are also mid-range products - Athlon X4 and a line of hybrid processors (with integrated graphics) A4 / A6 / A8 / A10 / A12. This is for FM2 / FM2 + / AM4 platforms. The A-series is divided into 2- and 4-cores. The power of the integrated graphics is higher in the older models. If the name has the letter "K" at the end, then this model comes with an unlocked multiplier, ie easier to overclock. Turbo Core is supported. It makes sense to take something from the A-series, only on condition that there is no separate video card.
For socket AM4, the newest processors are Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7. They are positioned as competitors to Intel Core i3, i5, i7. There are no integrated graphics and with it, then the model name will have the letter G, for example, AMD Ryzen A5 2400G. The top-end lineup with 8-16 cores is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper with a massive cooling system.
Intel Note
The LGA1151 platform includes a full set of models, listed in order of increasing performance: Celeron, Pentium, Core i3 / i5 / i7. There are economical processors, in their name there are letters "T" or "S". They are slower and I see no reason to install them in home computers if there is no special need, for example, for a home file storage / media center. Supports DDR4 memory, embedded video everywhere.
The most budgetary dual-core processors with integrated graphics are the Celeron, AMD's analogue of Sempron, and the more powerful Pentium. For everyday needs, it is better to install at least a Pentium.
Top LGA2066 for Skylake and Kabylake with i5 / i7 and top i9 series processors. They work with DDR4 memory, have 4-18 cores on board and have no integrated graphics. Unlocked multiplier.
For information:
- Core i5 and i7 processors support Turbo Boost automatic overclocking technology
- Kaby Lake processors are not always faster than their Sky Lake predecessors. The difference in architecture can be offset by different clock rates. As a rule, the faster percent costs a little more, even if it's Sky Lake. But Skylake accelerates well.
- processors with integrated Iris Pro graphics are suitable for quiet gaming builds, but they are quite expensive
- processors based on the LGA1151 platform are suitable for gaming systems, but it makes no sense to install more than two video cards, because a maximum of 16 PCI Express lanes are supported. For a complete detachment, you need an LGA2011-v3 or LGA2066 socket and the corresponding stones.
- The Xeon line is designed for servers.
Which is better than AMD or Intel?
This is an eternal controversy, to which thousands of pages of forums on the Internet are devoted, and there is no definite answer to it. Both companies follow each other, but for myself I made a choice which is better. In a nutshell - AMD produces optimal budget solutions, while Intel produces more technological and expensive products. AMD rules in the low-cost sector, but this company simply has no analogues to the fastest Intel processors.
Processors do not break, such as monitors or, therefore, the issue of reliability is not an issue here. That is, if you do not overclock the "stone" and use a fan no worse than the boxed one, then any processor will serve for many, many years. There are no bad models, but there is a feasibility of buying, depending on the price, characteristics and other factors, such as the presence of one or another motherboard.
For reference, I provide a summary table of the approximate performance in games of Intel and AMD processors on a powerful GeForce GTX1080 video card, the higher -> the better:
Comparison of processors in tasks. close to everyday, the usual load:
Archiving in 7-zip (less time - better result):
To independently compare different processors, I suggest using the tables. So, let's move from verbosity to specific recommendations.
Processors under $ 40
Of course, you shouldn't expect high performance for this money. Usually such a processor is bought in two cases:
- For an office computer that does not require high performance
- For the so-called "home server" - a computer, the main purpose of which is the storage and playback of video and audio files.
These computers will run high-definition movies and simple games without any problems, but don't count on anything more. To work in the nominal mode, AMD A4, A6 processors are suitable (the higher the model, the slightly more expensive and faster). The cheapest models from the A4 series are NOT recommended, these are slow processors with lagging graphics, worse than those of Intel.
An excellent choice is the Intel Celeron G3900-3930 (LGA1151 socket) with DDR4 memory support and more powerful integrated graphics. These processors overclock well.
If you have an external video card, you can save a little more and take AMD Athlon A4 X2, but it is better to aim at 4 Athlon II X4 cores or, since this processor does not have an integrated graphics core. It is worth mentioning separately that you should NOT pay attention to the quad-core AMD Sempron and Athlon Kabini X4 for socket AM1. These are slow processors, unsuccessful products of the company.
Up to 80 $
There are a few more possibilities here, since you can buy a good quad-core processor for this amount. This also includes the motherboard + integrated processor starter kits. Their purpose is to ensure the stable operation of low and medium power stationary computers. Usually they are enough for comfortable work on the Internet, but such a kit is not suitable for a serious load.
To work in nominal mode, it is best to choose an AMD Athlon X4 processor for the AMD AM4 platform. If you need integrated graphics, then take any AMD A8 series that you like for the price, or the Intel Pentium Dual-Core G4600 microprocessor for the Intel LGA1151 platform.
AMD FX or Athlon X4 xxxK processors show good performance in overclocking mode, i.e. with the letter "K". The multiplier is unlocked in these models, which means they can be easily overclocked. But when buying it, you need to take into account that not every motherboard is suitable for overclocking. Can be used with NVidia GTX1050Ti level video card.
About 120 $
You can choose from AMD Ryzen 3 Series Quad Core APUs on AMD AM4 platform for media center and even gaming at medium settings. In these "stones" is built in a very nice video card Radeon Vega R8 Series. If you look at Intel in the price category up to $ 120, then there is nothing interesting, except for the Pentium G5600.
For overclocking and more, choose an Intel i3-7100 processor. Not the best option for games, because there are only 2, but very fast cores. But the AMD FX-8350 processor with its 8 cores will come in handy. And the clock frequency can be raised from the standard 4 to 4.5 GHz.
Up to 200 $
The best performance in this category is given by Intel processors based on the LGA1151 platform, although AMD is still trying to maintain its position. The Intel i5-7400 is the best choice. Despite its 4 cores, it supports multithreading up to 8. It will show good performance in games and ideal in home applications. Draws attention to AMD Ryzen 5 with excellent Vega 11 graphics card.
At a slightly lower price point, AMD may be more efficient in multi-threaded operations. In other words, you can take the Ryzen 5 series for games, you can save money. For other tasks where multithreading is not required, it is better to take a closer look at Intel.
Up to 280 $
For nominal performance, the Intel Core i5-8600 is best suited. If you need to save a little, then the i5-8500 will do. Among AMD, you can take the Ryzen 5 2600X without hesitation. This is a great LAST processor from AMD that makes sense to buy (and overclock;).
For overclocking, the best choice would be an Intel Core i5-8600k processor for LGA 1151, which in this case has no competitors. The high frequency and unlocked multiplier make this gem ideal for gamers and overclockers. Among the processors used for overclocking, it is he who so far shows the best price / performance / power consumption ratio.
The Core i5-5675C of the Broadwell generation carries on board the most powerful integrated video card Iris Pro 6200 (GT3e core) and at the same time it does not get very hot, because made according to the 14nm process technology. Suitable for compact and uncompromising gaming systems.
Processors starting at $ 400
If we talk about the best model in this price range, here it is worth highlighting the Intel Core i7-8700K for the Intel LGA 1151 platform. This percentage is the best for both use in nominal mode and for overclocking, and is also great for top-end games at high settings. at corresponding video card... Its antipode is AMD Ryzen 7 products.
If you can afford to spend more on the "stone", the choice here is clear - an Intel Core i7-7820X processor for the LGA 2066 socket. For an adequate price, you get fast 8 cores, but no integrated graphics. Yes, I think who takes such a quickie and thinks to work on an integrashka From AMD there is a worthy competitor - this is the monster Ryzen Threadripper 1920X with 12 cores.
But the flagship Intel Core i9-7980XE with 18 cores is worth buying only for greater solidity, because, despite the significant difference in price (the flagship costs three times more), in desktop PC tasks, the processor is not far behind in performance. This animal is the sole leader in this price category, both for nominal use and for overclocking.
Should you change your processor?
Unlike smartphones and tablets, there has been little progress in the desktop and laptop industry. As a rule, the processor does not change for several years and works normally. Therefore, it is better to treat his choice responsibly, better with a small margin.
So, processors of 2 or even 3 years ago are not particularly inferior to their modern brothers. The increase in productivity, if we take similar prices, is on average 20%, which is almost imperceptible in real life.
Finally, I want to give a couple more tips:
- Don't chase the top models with super power. If you do not play or work in highly demanding applications, then a powerful processor will only consume extra power and quickly become cheaper over time.
- New items are not much faster than their predecessors, by 10-20% percent, which is almost imperceptible in everyday work, but they are more expensive and sometimes require replacement of the motherboard for installation.
- When choosing a powerful processor, consider that there is enough power for your power supply based on the power consumption of the "stone" and the entire system unit as a whole!
The central processor is the heart of the computer and the speed of computing operations depends on it. But the speed of work depends not only on him. With slow other components, for example, a hard disk, your computer will slow down even with the coolest animal!
It seems that he told everything he wanted, now if something is not clear, ask in the comments! Only one request - do not write, such as "which processor is better than Intel i5-xxxx or amd fx-xx" and similar questions. All processors have been tested and compared with each other for a long time. There are also ratings that include hundreds of models.

Which processor is the best for Gta5? Intel Pentium or Intel Celeron?
Most likely Pentium will be preferable. This is a more modern line, Intel Pentium is specified in the declared requirements of the game. In any case, it is better to take a more modern processor, it is easier to find it in a store, and at the same price, the latter will be more powerful. I am always in favor of moving forward in everything. I myself now have an Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad Q6600, with it the game is running at minimum-medium graphics settings.
Sooner or later, each of us begins to realize that the power of his E2160 is no longer enough, and to some, Athlon 64 x2 3800+ also seems to be very slow. And the owners of such processors, after a while, will go to the store and buy new processors. The owner of the E2160 will buy a brand new Intel, and the owner of the Athlon 64 x2 3800+ will buy AMD, shining in the sun.
Why did they do this? Why didn't they need to compare Intel and Amd? Probably because each of these processors has faithfully served its owner for a long time.
Generally speaking, there are differences in the size of the memory cache and the number of cores. The higher these two indicators, the more efficient the processor will be. It is clear that the Core iX line will be much cooler than the budget Celeron, on which GTA is unlikely to launch at all.
In general, it was always believed before that celeron was a cropped version of the pentium. I don’t know how far the processor production has progressed now, but I think that Intel Pentium itself is much better than Celeron, if their declared characteristics are approximately equal.
There is such an unspoken rule: for Intel, only top-end processors can be considered full-fledged devices, everything else is a rejection and there is no guarantee that all this will work at the limit of its capabilities. That is, normal Intel processors are i7, i5, and maybe i3 (but it seems to me that not all models, for example, I3-41xx, have a rather low operating speed, which for some reason is not mentioned anywhere). Moreover, it is most comfortable to work with processors that have a turbo function, these are i5 and i7, they feel the load less than others. All other models, both Pentium G and Celeron, are defects of varying degrees, so they will never work better than top-end processors. If I had to choose between Pentium G and Celeron, I would have settled on Pentium G, after all, the larger cache makes itself felt under load. Celeron is only suitable for printing documents and the Internet, and even then with brakes.
If the characteristics are the same, Pentium and Celeron have, or more precisely, approximately the same, clock speed, for example, cache memory size, etc. then this can apparently be only in one case, when the Celeron is a more modern model, and the Pentium is outdated and therefore naturally better than the Celeron. He will also have a more modern technical process, and will work with faster memory, and may even be cheaper at the same time.
If Pentium or Intel Celeron are both from the same generation, then the most budget-friendly Celeron cannot have the same characteristics as Pentium. The latter is definitely faster.
