What’s the difference between Intel Celeron and Pentium?
Pentium is an extended family of x86 microprocessors whereas Celeron is the Intel Family of low-end IA-32 and x86-64 chips. The fastest processor in the Pentium line has a clock speed of 3.8GHz and The fastest Celeron processor has a clock speed of 2.8GHz. Celeron chips are cheaper than Pentium chips.
What socket is Pentium?
Socket LGA 775 (also called Socket T) is used by the Core 2 Duo/Quad processors, the most recent versions of the Intel Pentium 4 Prescott processor and the Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition processors.
What is a Pentium processor?

Where was Pentium chip invented?
At the University of Cincinnati when NCR needed help Dham was the student in his class who had worked longest in semi-conductors. His leading-edge work on non-volatile memories helped NCR get a patent in 1985 on mixed dielectric process and non-volatile memory device. He then joined Intel Co.
What happened to Pentium processors?
In 1998, Intel introduced the Celeron brand for low-priced microprocessors. With the 2006 introduction of the Intel Core brand as the company’s new flagship line of processors, the Pentium series was to be discontinued. In 2017, Intel split Pentium into two line-ups.
