DirectX 9 Gaming Performance
Here, in all but Halo, the Celeron D 335 takes the lead in performance. In Halo, the 335 comes in second, which still isn't anything to shake a stick at.In the Gunmetal benchmark, all the Celeron D processors line up in front of everything else. Of course, with these DX9 games we are only talking about tiny differences, but this is still a complete change of character for Intel's low end.
Pay attention the the performance differences between the 20x100 Celeron D and the 2.0GHz Celeron. Performance advantages range from 5% and way up. The 20x100 Celeron D outperforms the 600MHz faster Northwood based Celeron every time.

I'd be very interested to see overclocked performance between the 335 and Mobile 2600+MAME - Thursday, June 24, 2004 - link

FYI: Later pages don't load.I wonder what the price of these Celerons will be. I have a feeling AMD will still corner the budget market, even without the Sempron's anyway.

Intel hired marketing firm Lexicon Branding, which had originally come up with the name Pentium, to devise a name for the new product as well. The San Jose Mercury News described Lexicon's reasoning behind the name they chose: Celer is Latin for swift. As in accelerate. And on. As in turned on. Celeron is seven letters and three syllables, like Pentium. The Cel of Celeron rhymes with tel of Intel.
