<And without the 128k of cache, the Celeron wouldn't even be close to a K6-2. So what?>

Intel isn't saying, "Celeron has 128K of on-die cache. K6-2 doesn't." But AMD is saying, "K6-2 has 100 MHz bus and 3D-Now. Celeron doesn't."

Besides, the cacheless Celeron is already entering oblivion. Sure, the stigma still remains, but people are most likely going to forget about it very quickly. Remember that old Pentium FDIV bug?
