Any info on new Celeron 1.0A and 1.1A CPUs?

[iluvdeal]

I read Intel has released new 0.13 micron Celeron 1.0A and 1.1A CPU's. Besides the core, does anyone know how these differ from the regular Celeron 1.0 and 1.1? More cache maybe? Also are these considered tualatin celerons like the 1.2 is?

Anyone?

I'm curious too. It's listed at NewEgg like this... CPU PENTIUM III/CELERON 1.0AGHz 256K L2 Cache FCPGA Processor

With 256k L2 doesn't that make it just like a 1GHz P3? (I know, I know, the P3 runs at 133FSB)

Hmm... 1GHz Cel-Mine $76 or a 1GHz P3 $135... How about raising the FSB to overclock?

Will this new 1.0A run in a SMP setup?

Could this prove to be an affordable upgrade for an older board?

Or do you need yet another intel chipset?

I just ordered an ASUS TUSL2-C and Celeron 1.0A Ghz combo for my mother's machine. I'll definitely try overclocking it before handing it off, I'll let you know what I think. I have high expectations from this chip - Hoping to reach 133mhz FSB.

I have this chip (1.0a ghz), just got it yesterday from Newegg ($77~Retail).
I put it in a Biostar M6VLQ board and that board doesnt have much OC abilities but does have some.
The chip runs real cool (26'c) after 4 hrs of 3dmark2001 and all night of cpu burn in.
I have to read up on the board I have to check into OC options..although its not that important as its my server cpu (and a damn good one~!)

-Im also using the stuck Intel HS/fan

Just wanna confirm, do you guys have boards that take Tualatin CPUs? I am under the impression the 1.0A and 1.1A are FCPGA2 boards so they won't work with my slocket converter and slot 1 board. Thanks.

Apart from FSB, difference is a a bit higher cache latency, and nobody is really able to confirm wether the Data Prefetch Logic common to other Tualatin P3s is activated on the new Celeron or not. Not a big performance hit, expect for the FSB. A good deal faster than the older Celermine.

Hmm... 1GHz Cel-Mine $76 or a 1GHz P3 $135... How about raising the FSB to overclock?

Will this new 1.0A run in a SMP setup?

Nobody's gotten it to work, AFAIK. Doubt it will ever happen, since the 1.2 GHz Celeron has been out for a while and no sightings of a Celeron SMP setup so far.

Could this prove to be an affordable upgrade for an older board?

No. The mobo will need a VRM 8.5 compliant regulator. Powerleap makes an adapter for slot 1 boards, costs around 70$ AFAIK.

Or do you need yet another intel chipset?

More like a new revision, i815 in 'b-stepping'.

And a word of warning: seeing that many Celeron 1.2 GHz run at around 1.5 without too much hassle, I was looking forward to a 1.0@1.5 and 150 FSB which, IMO, would not have been too far off an Athlon, clock for clock.

Well, sadly it's not that easy. Forum member Oldfart and a few other brave souls at overclockers.com took the plunge and found out that going that high needs some serious overvolting.

A 1.0A at 133 FSB should be doable, but for a 1.1A it's on the edge without serious tweaking.

Preliminary results only, of course, YMMV, etc .

Yes, you need a FCPGA2 (or "Tualatin") compatible board!

People wanting to upgrade their standard FC-PGA boards should get a coppermine Celeron while they can find one cheap. Looks like they have officallly been phased out now.

DSTA,

THANK YOU!

The information is GREATLY appreciated!
