- If there ever was a good Celery every made it was the 300A

- they need to wipe the slate, with 50 million different processors available, no wonder nobody knows anything about computers!

- 300a was actually produced if I recall. The other celrons are just by products of there big brothers if im not mistaken. So it would make sence it would take some time before they have a small stockpile starting. But i would never buy a celron. But knowing they disable stuff it sure seems that with a little extra heat celrons start acting up and I would assume again, that could be from a jumper wire of some sort.

- Whats wrong with these new celerons? The current ones are just single core core 2 duos ,which as we know are fantastic, with reduced cache for a ridiculosly low price. Adding an extra core can only make things better. Theres a massive market out there for people who just want cheap computers for internet and office.

- so this its lower than thos pentium dual core. still based on allendale not bad very good performance and cheap price

- Good performance at a cheap price. That's what I'm currently looking for.

- Look out, AMD: Incoming fire from the Celeron platforms!
This will hurt AMD a heck of a lot. Right now, the only reason people buy AMD CPUs is becasue of their price/performace ratio. With a Core 2 Celeron chip on the market, I can imagine what it will do to AMD's CPU sales, especially once Intel starts making Conroe-based Celerons.
With affordability as the main factor in mind, Intel Corporation plans to release dual-core Intel Celeron microprocessors in the first quarter of next year. Intel’s Celeron E1000 dual-core processors are set to be made using 65nm process technology and are projected to fit into 65W thermal design power envelope. The new CPUs will be drop-in compatible with all platforms that support code-named Conroe processors. Intel plans to describe the new Intel Celeron dual-core processor as delivering “entry multi-tasking experience for value-conscious customers.”
The first Intel Celeron E1200 dual-core processor working at 1.60GHz, utilizing 800MHz processor system bus and featuring 512KB of unified secondary-level cache will emerge in the first quarter of 2008 to target cost-effective desktops. Later during the year Intel plans to add more chips into the Intel Celeron E1000 dual-core lineup, creating a comprehensive family of affordable chips with two processing engines.
