Pokey Celeron Disappoints

INTEL'S NEW CELERON CHIP, the low-end processor aimed at the sub-$1000 PC market,
has failed to live up to even modest expectations in our PC WorldBench testing. In
this exclusive report from our upcoming May issue, a 266-MHz Celeron test system
performed significantly poorer on business applications than similarly configured
systems from AMD and Cyrix. In fact, the 266-MHz Celeron system just barely kept pace
with a Pentium MMX-200. Has Intel made a major misstep in its low-end chip strategy?
