On the Celerons, however, Intel is disabling half of the cache and likely running it at a slower speed, so the chip can only take advantage of 128KB of the cache."

What is the sensible reason for disabling half the cache? Demand is good?

Demand is too good!

Intel figures that if consumers encounter problems with their pc's microprocessor, they may stop buying, causing demand to slack off and allowing Intel to catch up.
