Thanks Tenchusatsu. re:"new .18 celerons have PSN" That's fine. I had looked on the Intel website and the product introduction announcement didnt mention it, and the PSN section is still P3 stuff. re:"I'm not sure whether the Celeron is just a Coppermine w/ half its cache disabled, or whether it really is a smaller version of Coppermine." I 'm not a chip man, but I had always thought Spitfires would be crippled Thunderbirds, since AMD has struggled in the past with L2 on die cache. Make the chip with 2 - 128 halves and ship one working as a Spitfire. steve

Ten, I'm not sure whether the Celeron is just a Coppermine w/ half its cache disabled, or whether it really is a smaller version of Coppermine. Given the massive amount of work required to re-layout a full custom core, it is extremely unlikely that Intel (or AMD) has made any significant changes to the cores of their lower cost offerings.
