OCAddiction gets hold of a shiny new 2GHz Celeron and puts it on the test bench to see how it compares to both the Northwood 2.0GHz P4 and the AMD XP 2000+ CPU. The new cely's pack a punch for the price and you might be surprised the numbers this little CPU is putting up. Here's a snip from the review.

" The die size of the Celeron is the same of the Northwood. The 1.7GHZ and 1.GHz Celerons have 0.18µ die size while the new 2GHz Celeron is 0.13µ. Generally speaking, the smaller the die size the cooler the CPU. It'll require less voltage to run and also give better overclocking results. Thus, the new Celeron should definitely overclock better than the older Celerons. "

I think its odd that Intel is still making a processor geared towards the lower end computer system. Aren't all computer system lower end? At least in price? I could not imagine what a Celeron system would cost if you could buy a P4 system for under $500.

Why buy Celeron when you can get a faster AMD chip for about the same price?
