Celeron D 2.4GHz -vs- Pentium 4 1.8GHz

It seems like the "features" on the 2 chips are similar, same cache size, but better branch prediction on the Celeron D, and higher clock, so it seems like it is going to be about how you will get if you OC a P4 1.8 to 2.4
 
Coincidentally, if you OC a P4 1.8 to a 133MHz FSB, you get 2.4GHz. Not very attainable on the original Willamette chips with 256k cache, but the Northwood with 512k cache was often clocked that high. This makes a comparison with same size cache difficult.

Let me make this simpler.

My Deleron 2.4GHz is running at 3.6GHz. I dare say no P4 1.8GHz chip can touch it in overall performance. Not the Willamette, not the Northwood, not the P4m.
 
Celeron will beat it in every test, remeber orginal tbird beat the Willamette chips fairly easy. Start clocking and things get real ugly.
 
If the P4 1.8 is a willy, then it's no contest. The Celeron D is faster.

If the P4 is a Northwood, then it's a contest, since it has double the cache of the Celeron D.
 
Yeah, definatly depends on weather it's a northwood or williamette. The williamettes really sucked, the northwood is a great overclocker. I have a mobile 1.6ghz northwood running at 2.4, and it's max load temp is lower than the idle temp of my prescott.
