Kevin - Re: " Most likely the Celeron's miserable reception and the continued growth of the low end segment embarassed Intel into devoting more resources to develop Mendocino ahead of schedule."

I think the acceptance was OK - but not spectacular.

As for Mendocino, First Silicon was due back from the fab and it appears that Intel got it "near-perfect" on the first try.

Hence, the accelerated introduction.
