How is OCed 1.0A/1.1A Celeron compared with PIII 1.4G/512K in performance?

May be a silly question. But I am a newbie. Thanks a lot for your help.

Oldfart should have a more definitive answer for you but the extra cache of the PIII's will allow them a performance advantage. However, the new 1.0A and 1.1A Cely Tualy's are essentially Pentium III processors now with a Celeron name. They have double the cache that the standard Celeron has and the same as many of the Pentium III's'. For example, my Pentium III 550E has 256k cache, and so do the Cely Tualy's. In general, the OC'd 1.0A Cely running at the same spead as the PIII 1.4 ghz, will perform in the same ball park and will not have the same disadvantage as the older 128k cache Celys.

I'd say clock for clock, the PIII-S will be 10 - 20% faster than the Tualeron. Don't forget, the PIII-S can also be overclocked. A 1.4 should go to 1.6 - 1.7.
