LOL, desktop celerons are garbage for anything except low-CPU-power applications like office machines or a HTPC that is playback-only.
exactly!
and i wouldnt be the least bit surprised to learn that celerons sell more than durons...
lol
i'll wager all my wars trek guys...except bobba fett.... i never risk the fett-man no matter how sure i am
Seems like calling the Celeron a "neutered" P4 is a major understatement.
It gets fried, eaten, spat back out then sat on by the AMD procs.

Everyone (on Anandtech) knows that the Celeron is a dog when it comes to performance. Then again I bet Intel produces them for almost nothing whereas AMD is forced to sell the (somewhat expensive to produce) 2500+ to compete with the Celeron.
I think that this is really unfortunate, now that they have the performance crown on both the upper and lower end they should really get some marketing out there. Unfortunately, we all know that all that will happen is that AMD will put out a pathetically weak marketing campain and Intel will eat them alive when Prescott (finally) launches, regardless of performance.
In the budget CPU world, where many buyers are computer-illiterate, appearance of performance counts for more than actual performance.

lol and people complain bout AMD's PR system thing, but look at how pathetic that celery is? lol
I would have liked for them to have tested a mobile Celeron with 256KB cache.
Because with laptops, you don't get much of a choice. Sometimes, the Celeron laptops are significantly cheaper than P-M and P4-M.

Don't just say Consumer, everytime I am in any of the big Retailers like Best Buy, Microcenter, CompUSA etc, there is ALWAYS a Salesman pushing new computer buyers that the highest speed CPU is better so I witness the poor souls buying an Intel system everytime especially Celerons because even though they will not perform as good as the AMD system the Salesman sold them that it is better because the CPU speed is higher.
I think it's time for an independent (if possible) third-party to step in with an objective (as far as possible) PR rating system. While MHz will always be useful to an extent, consumers need a single number that is consistent across competing products, like horsepower is for cars. The reality is that consumers are buying a Celeron 2.6 over an Athlon 2500+, and that is unfortunate.

It's not just the MHz number that people base the purchasing decisions on. It's the Intel branding that also appeals to the general market. Brand loyalty is not uncommon in society.
When people buy these Celeron based systems, they won't notice that split second difference when they load up their AOL, Internet Explorer or Word. They bought the name as they probably bought an Intel PC before as well so they feel they didn't step into unchartered waters.

I'd bet mine too, but considering the countless number of individuals out there sending me email after email on how to enlarge my p3nis, I'm thinking I better keep it off the table for now until I upgrade. I mean, at first it was just the wife, but now complete strangers are noticing.
Actually, my 6y/o son has an old 1.4celery tualatin (with a ti4200). He's able to play anything he throws in there. LOTR ROTK, Simpsons H&R, Jedi Academy, JKII, Tony Hawk 3, NWN, and others. It handles things very well. I've even jumped on with him using the gamepad sometimes and the framerate is very playable, and those aren't very old games.
Now, that being said, I wouldn't stick a celery in my main rig (XP1700+ TbredB) but for a kid's machine, it's working out fine until I give him mine and build a new one for myself in 6 months. Since he's on an old Dell mobo, the 1.4 tualatin is the best I can throw in there without upgrading the whole dang thing.
