The current comparison is one that did not actually need extensive testing or effort: the Intel Core i3 3217U is better than the Intel Celeron 847. It is expected of new cores to be better than the older ones.
But let’s not just leave it at that and give some detail. Starting from the top, the i3 has the same amount of cores as the Celeron- two- but has a higher clock speed: 1.8GHz against the 1.1GHz of the Celeron. Also, adding to that, is the fact that the cores of the i3 are hyperthreaded, which means they can handle twice the amount of threads than the Celeron can. Furthermore, the i3 offers 3MB of L3 cache, while the Celeron provides only 2MB. And, to top everything off, the i3 does all this at the same power cost as the Celeron.
The numbers in the sheet below support this verdict, that the Intel Core i3 3217U is just better than the Intel Celeron 847.
