At 66Mhz bus the Celeron As are slightly slower than the Pentium IIs (66Mhz) at the same clockspeed, about even on gaming performance and slightly faster on Toms 3d rendering test.
The BW 98 scores for a CeleronA 333/66 was 25.1 and the Pentium II was 25.4. Hardly the 10% difference that Intel wants you to believe.
Intel will sell more than a fair amount of the Celeron As, unfortunately for Intel, a lot will cannibalize the Pentium II.
That's not all bad for Intel. Early reports I have show the Celeron A in short supply at vendors...I think it's selling pretty good.
Only two exciting chips out there...AMD K6-2 and Celeron A.
Pentium IIs are just to costly to make and adding Intels fat margins makes the chips too expensive in light of the two alternatives I named.
