...it is highly unlikely that Celerons would be defective CuMines. It wouldn't make sense from a manufacturing standpoint. I guess you should know since you do work at an Intel fab. But the article said, "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?
