Does this compare to an Intel Celeron processor?

The A8 is a much more powerful processor. The CPUs on this comparison may not be the same as the Celeron you're speaking of and this A8 CPU, but they still can apply to this: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/386/AMD_A8-Series_A8-3850_vs_Intel_Celeron_433_MHz_(BX80524P433128).htmlThe AMD A-series processors also have built in graphics, which I'm pretty sure the Celeron lacks. So it's basically a decent graphics card and a processor all in one package. Hope this helped some!TL;DR: The A8 is better

The Laptop it is very fast, this processor have 4 core and my experience with Intel Celeron was very bad, so, to me, This AMD processor it is better than a Intel Celeron.

Hi, an Intel Celeron 450 seems to take a singular cpu socket 775, But depending on when your motherboard bios was installed you may or maynot need to do a Bios upgrade to enable it to support the either the Intel E-8400 Core dueo or the e-8500 Both are duel core cpus and both are very fast. I've owned both of them . they can even play many newer games very well , not counting how powerful your Video card is or not. To be sure on changing out your cpu I would strongly suggest contacting Dell to verify if the cpu upgrade your thinking of doing is possible, Dell support should have no problem giving you this information.Best of luck with doing your upgrade.

yes it has a "new" processor, but the processor is now exynos, an arm chip that is found in your cell phone, whereas the old model had intel celeron. therefore this new model is going to be noticeably SLOWER than the old model, which is why i would pass on this updated samsung chromebook. i would get the new hp or toshiba chromebooks, which do have intel chips

Sorry, here's my answer to the Intel I5 processor is very good and very past when your are making downloading or wi-fi internet compare to the other processor before this is much better and I already recommend to my friend and my colleagues.

I see the specs in other answers here, and while not impressive for a desktop this does perform very well when compared apples to apples. I replaced a defective atom-based mobo+cpu with this one after reading many favorable reviews about performance visa-vi the atom with a higher CPU clock speed. Paired with an SSD, this little WIndows-7 based system became a noticeable upgrade for my client, who needed a repair on a small form-factor PC for basic e-mail and internet home use. - Mark, The IT Guy San Diego

Yes it is. Here are details about the processor: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Celeron-1017U-Notebook-Processor.90861.0.html

It is better, unless you specifically need to overclock. I get the feeling that the added threads are more useful than a couple ghz, but it depends on what you want to do, and how much price matters to you.

The i5 processor is a new version. Better but not noticable for normal application. Unless you plan on using your computerms for online games or an thing that requires very high processing ability yout would not notice a difference. An upgrade in ram would give a huge boost on noticeable seen in practical use though.. in any computer. :) hope that helps

This one has been very stable up to 4.9 mhz O.C.! And has beed that way since i built the machine. So if what you are arking is if it a faster processor the answer is Yes

This does not have a 8 core processor. Also Amd is good. but i tend to lean towards intel. i can tell you this.. this laptop renders 3d faster than my friends i7. its a good buy.

I don't see much difference between the AMD and Intel processosrs except Intel processors are more expensive. I think you are paying for the name if you get an Intel and AMD in my opinion is just as good.

Hey! I personally have had better luck with the Hyper X. It is actually optimized for Intel gen 3 processors (Ivy Bridge) vs the Corair's Gen 2 (makes a big difference as Intel may release a Gen 4 soon). The latency on the Hyperx is better as well, 9-9-9-24 vs 10-10-10-24 (you have to read the details at the bottom on the Corair page, they are different than the top.) It will automatically hyper thread as needed which can save power in laptops. AND it is also CHEAPER :-)

I do not know the model you indicated, but I have several different models of Intel Core i3 and I have never noticed significant differences in performances. I have only noticed performance differences among i3 processors from different generetions (for example between first and forth generations). Really important (and useful) differences in performance are only detected betwen i3 and i5 or i3 and i7.

From i5 to i7 is a good amount of speed difference. Most users wont see the difference unless you are a Gamer, that when the i7 Processor shines.

The lesser version has the Intel Core - i5 processor and the higher cost version has the Intel Core - i7 processor. The latter has increased caching and clock speed.
