RE:"If Intel didn't intend CeleronIII to have a significant lifespan and intended instead to replace it with a newer version with perhaps some other integrated components"

OOPPSS!! Ah ooooo Gaah! The horn sounds...

SO maybe Intel wanted to replace the Cellymine with the Timna...but wait, the Timna is now delayed 6 months...into Q1, 2 0 0 1. It may be effectively DEAD. So now, Intel is forced to take Coppermines, disable half the cache and sell them for 1/3 the price for at least 6 months longer....
not good...and a new Cellie core just can't be popped right out the mold...eh? So how much did the delay of Timna really cost Intel? Hummm...
I expect Celeymines may be in short supply...gotta hurt at Intel, sending a disabled coppermine at Celeron prices...
OUCH!
Enter D U R O N ....right chip at the right time...thank you RAMBUST!
