Jim, I could have sworn that Intel introduced Covington as the first Celeron product, and later talked about Mendocino as the second Celeron. However, I spent about ten minutes on Intel's home page, and they weren't connecting Mendocino with Celeron. Help, John Hull, or other Intel product knowledgable person! re: "I think the whole problem with this is that Intel chose to castrate a relatively expensive but fast chip (due to the very cache they chose to take off)" I know there are benchmarks, and there are benchmarks, but on the Intel page below, they show Celeron 266 MHz at a performance rating of 213 using the iCOMP index 2.0. Pentium 233 MMX gets a 203. Just for comparison, PII 400 MHz with 512K L2 cache gets a 440. Celeron at almost half as fast as PII 400, and faster than the 233 MMX ain't bad, to me. intel.com I think iCOMP is an Intel benchmark, but it does combine four well known benchmarks: CPUmark32, NortonSI-32, SPECint95, SPECfp95 and then an Intel one: Intel Media Benchmark.
