<How could Intel explain how they marketed a supposedly more advanced CPU than Pentium MMX which when put on a level playing field with Pentium mmx underperforms it . In other words it appears as if they took an inferior design to Pentium mmx and by smoke and mirrors (i.e. L2 cache)made it appear superior .> Get your facts straight Brian. The Pentium MMX had a L2 cache (512K). That's an add on who's cost is in addition to the processor. Why don't you compare the Celeron to a PentiumMMX or K6 without a L2 cache if you want a level playing field? Is it smoke and mirrors (L2 cache) that makes the K6 or PentiumMMX look superior to the Celeron? I don't think you can have it both ways. EP
