It'll be interesting to see how a 'scotty' celeron compares to a Northwood C of the same speed....
Price/perf between the two <i>might</i> be fairly close.
Scotty is alleged to have 20% higher IPC than Northwood C, so, if we assume that Scotty celery has 20% over Northwood celery, then a 2Ghz scotty celery would perform like a 2.4Ghz Northwood celery....
How would a 2.4Ghz current P4 Celery compare against a 2Ghz P4C?
Makes you wonder how they'll sort out the pricing. might make a 2.4 Scotty Celery worth considering over a 2.4P4C...
This is, of course, just bored conjecture, but the thought just struck me.
yeah... If it's factory limited to a 533FSB, but with a core designed the handle above 800FSB, the low-end ones might end up being <i>awesome</i> value overclockers.
I'm waiting for the second revision of the scotty core (I'm assuming they are going to make one, thinking along lines of AMD's t-bred 'A' Vs 'B' here) to see how good an Oc'er it is...
I also read that the new range of cellerons will finally get a bit more cache.
256k L2 instead of the weedy 128k.
still not as good as 512 or 1mb though.
