Re: "In nearly every case, a lowly Athlon 500 beats the
not-yet-available 700 MHz Cellarmine. If we assume that
Cellarmine scales half as well as CopperMine (more reasonable)then 500 MHz Athlon will beat CellarMine 700 hands down."

Comment: Looks like checkmate has been applied by the Athy not only in top-end, but mid-range and low range...Seems to be confirming the trend in the latest survey of the 3 ranges in PC magazine showing the Athy inexorably claiming more spots in the top 10 with every passing month...AMD does indeed appear to be circling their wagons and rumour is Mr. Sanders is about to take no prisoners!

Petz - Re: "Athlon 500 beats Celeron 700 hands down. From Anand's benchmarks"

Wow - that's some powerful AthWiper.

Maybe the Celeron is the Price/performance leader !!

Petz, <Athlon 500 beats Celeron 700 hands down.>

Most Celerons are going into 810 chipsets, an excellent platform for low-cost computers. What chipset comparable to the 810 supports Athlon/Spitfire?
