Intel has it's advantages, but just because a car has a big engine doesn't mean the driver is any good . . .

It does not matter if the drivers are good or not so good. Car could offer a good explanations on how Intel processors deal with real world applications.

Just like a lousy big 4,995 cc engine, PII has great processing power as all the benchmarks indicate. Due to failure of fully digest with the stolen Alpha technology, PII could not response to users' commands just like a car with poor auto transmission that the power could not be transferred to the wheels.

In the case of the cacheless PII-SX, it just like to replace the modern transmission with the one with 20-years-age old one. It goes nowhere since less power is transferred from the engine (PII core) and would free spin either on driving on freeways or cornering.

PII or PII-SX are the CPU for fools!

Francis - Re: "Intel has a lot of advantages in $$ and brainpower,
and with it all they made a Celeron . . ."

Your implication is that the Celeron is ALL that Intel has made.

You too have fallen into the albert Kovalyov syndrome.

Probably because the famous Heisenberg principle seems to
work here as well: ($$) x (brains) = Const.
