Intel Celeron M 925
The Intel Celeron 925 is a mobile single core processor for cheap laptops. It is based on the Penryn core (as the Core 2 Duo Dual Core processors) but many features and one core are deactivated. The missing power saving features, like Speedstep, lead to a lower battery runtime (compared to Core 2 Duo powered laptops). Furthermore, features like Virtualization and Trusted Execution are deactivated.
The performance of the single core processor is located in the entry level segment. Due to the missing 2nd core, the performance may suffer when using many applications at once. Otherwise (in synthetic benchmarks), the Celeron M 925 is on par with a low clocked dual core at 1.3 - 1.4 GHz. Compared to current AMD single core versions, like the AMD V-Series V160, the Celeron 925 should be faster due to the larger Level 2 cache and different architecture. On contrast it usually features the faster chipset graphics card by ATI leading to a better overall performance.
