LOL! On pricewatch, the P3 800 is less than the "Sillyron" 800!

[Haervii]

And the Pentium3 850 costs just as much! (as the sillyron)

 

[Subversal]

That is sad. $200 for that POS. Thank god we have AMD around or that "Sillyron" wouldn't be too silly.

 

[Adul]

LOL, a Thunderbird can be had for less the that.

This might be something funny to consider -

the yeilds on the 800 MHz Pentium III are too good, and there aren't enough bad ones to make 800 MHz Celeries. Thus, the supply of 800 MHz Celerons is low and the price is higher.

Probably not true but interesting to think about!

You called them by their real name! Blasphemer! j/k

I bet thats whats going on Karsin. But I just think Intel knows they can sell these chip for that much and will.

 

[Whitedog]

Same goes for TBird 850 vs. Duron 850. TBIrd just as cheap.. :Q

 

[StickHead]

Yeah but who would buy a 850 Duron when a 600 will hit 900Mhz easy?

 

[The Sauce]

BTW, an 850 duron also costs more than an 850 TB...check it out y'all.

 

[Subversal]

Yeah only by +$3-5avg according to pricewatch. And a Duron is much closer to a T-Birds performance than a Celeron is to a P3's. Also a Retail Tbird 850 costs more than a retail Duron 850.
