DirectX 8 Gaming Performance
Once again, in all but Simcity, the top Celerons take the lead. In Warcraft III, the Athlons have a significant performance advantage over the Northwood Celerons, and the slowest Prescott Celeron has a 5.8% lead over the fastest Athlon.In looking at the 20x100 Celeron D, we can see that the core and L1 cache enhancements provide a more than 16% performance advantage under Warcraft III. In light of the performance of the Pentium 4 flavor of Prescott, this is simply remarkable.

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.
