Go up one level in this thread

I thought 'Centrino' did mean the CPU was a Celeron. The only difference should
be in the chip set, if that is Intel or a competitor, which usually makes no
difference for the performance. Chess programs are not likely to be very
sensitive to the chip-set performance anyway, they run almost entirely in the
CPU chip (from the various caches). The only signals that pass through the
chip-set are the DRAM accesses, and these are usually only needed for hash-table
access, where they are purely random and non-local. So whatever clever tricks a
memory controller in the north bridge might know to manage open DRAM pages, it
will be all in vain...
