Jim, >The trouble with these Celerons is that they are Coppermines with 1/2 the 256k cache laser disabled. How do you know that? Has Intel announced it? Anyway, if true, reasons for going that way could be: 1. Time to market: get it out there while the market is super hot, rather than wait for an all new chip. Might be an interim low cost chip solution anyway, so overall net $$ might be better using this strategy than developing an all new chip. 2. Intel has enough on the development plate right now without another all new chip. Hey, I may disagree with what I see Intel doing now and then, like placing so much dependency on Rambus, but when it comes to decisions that are highly manufacturing and profitability driven, I go along (they didn't ask me anyway).
