Re: Of course, I do disagree that it's quite likely the Celeron 220 and Celeron 400 Series use the same die, given that they are both single core variants of the same micro-architecture. The 400 series are most likely the recovered C2Ds. It's unlikely that Intel created a whole new design just to supply Celeron 220 products. It's far more likely that in order to justify the design and mask expense, that Intel would sell this single core design into as many high volume markets as they can. That would logically include Celeron 400 products. I won't deny that it's possible that some Celeron 400 parts are Millville die, while others are disabled or defective Allendale die, but no evidence exists to say with conviction that Intel is producing meaningful volumes of defective dual core parts. AMD is the only processor vendor quoted as claiming that some triple core chips use defective quad core die. The other fact is that Intel has a single core die called Millville, and that it is used in at least some of Intel's single core product lines. Re: Yes or NO. I do not intend to respond to bully tactics. If you want to have a conversation, then you had better learn to conduct your responses in a more civilized way.
