Many storage, networking, and embedded applications require fast I/O throughput for optimal performance. Intel® I/O processors allow servers, workstations and storage subsystems to transfer data faster, reduce communication bottlenecks, and improve overall system performance by offloading I/O processing functions from the host CPU. The table below provides a quick overview of the Intel I/O processor family. The Intel® IOP34x family of processors, with Intel XScale® microarchitecture, builds on more than a decade of leadership in I/O processor technology. Learn more about Intel I/O Processors based on Intel XScale® Technology, or get an overview of all our I/O processors in our I/O Processor Overview brochure.

The Celeron processor is designed to be Intel's most cost-effective processor. It is their most basic, and thus slowest. While a Celeron may have a similar GHz rating to a Core or Pentium processor, the Celeron will be slower due to smaller amounts of cache within the processor itself. We do not generally recommend purchasing a computer with a Celeron processor, because they offer by far the least in terms of longevity -- while a computer with a Celeron processor will be less expensive now, it will need to be replaced at a cumulatively higher cost later.Click here to read more about the Celeron from Intel.

Intel's Centrino processor is a combination of either the Pentium M (the precursor to the Core Duo) or the Core Duo, a model of motherboard, and a wireless card. While the set is nice, it is largely marketing on Intel's part and offers little performance boost over simply choosing a Core Duo and a Dell wireless card. The latter option tends to be less expensive and works just as well. Either the Centrino or any Dell wireless card will work with UWNet, the University's wireless network.Click here to read more about the Centrino Duo and Centrino M from Intel.

Pentium 4


The Pentium 4 is an older processor than the Core Duo, but it is far from obsolete. The Pentium 4 is one of the best processors for desktops, able to reach speeds of well over 3.0 GHz. The Pentium 4 is also available with "HyperThreading" technology, which makes it perform more efficiently when you're running many demanding programs at once.Click here to read more about the Pentium 4 from Intel.
Centrino

The Core 2 Duo is Intel's newest processor, and can be found in both PCs and new Macs. While not technically a "dual processor," each Core 2 Duo has a pair of processing cores in it. This helps optimize performance for things like gaming, video and image processing, and so on. It's also extremely useful for running many programs at once, without sacrificing any of your system's performance. Laptops with Core Duo processors tend to be more energy-efficient and thinner than ones without them.Click here to read more about the Core 2 Duo from Intel.
