Tenchusatsu, Re: I didn't see any graph at Intel's web site comparing the Celeron to the Pentium II head-on There is an iCOMP index line up for the Celeron and PII. intel.com This is more towards the measurement of raw CPU speed(examine the application chosen). Quite different from Winbench98. Gary

I can't dissagree with you.... Intel doesn't want to have the Celeron A compared directly to the Pentium II for obvious reasons. Intels roadmap calls for a Celeron A 366 and 400 next year. The latter on a 100 Mhz bus. That will likely mark the end of the Pentium II, IMHO. The Katmai will likely pick up at 450 and 500 and the segmentation will continue only then the Katmai will offer something the Celeron A doesn't, Katmai instructions. At least then the segmentation will be based on something other than Intels marketing strategy. Intel would still own the high end except for two things, K6-3 and K-7...not to mention the smaller die sizes...Intels plan is pretty darn good except for the die sizes. Jim
