Celeron faster than a Pentium II? Check out Anands Celeron 300A test... Like I said... anandtech.com

McMannis - Re: "How much more does a Pentium II cost to make than a Celeron A? Your best guess please." The straight silicon costs would have the Pentium II cheaper than a Mendocino by less than $10. However, the added cost of external 512 KByte L2 cache chips and assembly - required for the Pentium II - is probably around $15 +/- $5. The net result is the Pentium II is more expensive by $5 or $10 to manufacture - as a first order guess. I am not factoring in such issues as assembly/test yield which would tend to drive the Pentium II cost up a bit more. Paul
