<And since the Celeron is bigger than the PIII, the Celeron is faster, right? ;)>

Celeron actually saves on silicon because there is no off-chip L2 cache. Same thing with Dixon.

But I get your point anyway. Still, if you look at logic alone (i.e. silicon that's not part of any cache), Athlon has 10M transistors, Pentium II/Celeron/Dixon has 4.5M, and Pentium III has 6M. (I'm assuming 3M transistors per 32K of L1 cache.)
