1. Taulitan; Raise FSB to 133mHz and retain 128k cache

2. Taulitan; Retain FSB of 100mHz and gain to 256k cache

3. P4 form factor; Only 128k L2 cache

4. P4 form factor; No L2 cache

Intel appears to be keeping the Celeron family alive. It doesn't appear that they are necessarily going to be the 128k L2 cache of the PPGA/FCPGA siblings. If you were making the choice to design the next Celeron, what would you choose? Why?

(Remember that it cannot outperform either the Taulitan w/512k L2 cache or the P4 w/256k L2 cache.)

Please, only serious response only!

I'd rather see the Celeron killed completely and see higher MHz 512K Tualatins with aggressive pricing. The Celeron simply can't compete in today's CPU market as it's essentially a Pentium II + SSE.

oh please.
maybe one day you'll actually end up using computers more than concerning yourself with questions that never betray an actual use you have for them. and therefore join the ranks of true computer users.

Intel's strategy may be shot but producing chips with cache cost money.. unless the coppermine-c (current 100fsb or 133fsb p3 w/256k) gets rename Celeron or Coppermine-Cheap w/ SSE1 and the Taulitan gets the 256 / 512k cache with SSE2
