Well, since a 1.0ghz Celeron is faster than a 500mhz PIII, I'd have to give the nod to the 2.4ghz. Unless you mean which will fall faster from the roof of a 6-story building.:D

It's not a dumb question, just utterly pathetic that the Celery is such a POS that someone needs to ask!

ACTUALLY...they will fall at the same rate....newtons 1st law....Xd...i know this has no relevency but i love to prove people wrong....

You're forgetting about how that law only applies if:

1. It is in a vacuum
-or-
2. The chips both have the exact same air resistance.

Yeah. The PIII... hmm, well it's in a bigger, bulkier SECC2 form factor, and they're not very heavy... whereas the Celery is compact and has the heatspreader slug for mass. I'm gonna put my money on the Celery being faster. We're talking without the heatsink attached, right? :confused:

(edit: this is one test where I know the AthlonXP would lose, since they're very low in mass:surface ratio)

Hehe! :D I would find it seriously quite interesting to see a test between the last of the Tualatin-based Celerons, namely the 1.4GHz model, and the fastest Socket478 Celerons. The Tualatin core was a serious piece of equipment in my opinion.

How would the AMD 64 fare? 940, 939, 740, 326, 546.... take your pick on which socket type :)

At least this isnt the Video Card section.... otherwise the Volari would fall fastest :D That AAA really speeds that baby up.

What the hell did this thread turn into????





Oh, and I think the PIII would fall faster :D

Guys... This is a VERY valid question because I recently have experience with this.


A celeron 2 ghz is about ~ to a P3 600mhz.... The 1ghz 'p3' celeron is faster/as fast as a 2.2ghz 'p4' celeron. I've done tests with DC type projects.... its really sad.

Ya, but you forgot that the Northwood Celeron is stuck on a 400 Mhz bus and only has 128 KB od L2 cache. The new Celerons based on the Prescott core will run on a 533 MHz bus and have 256 KB of L2 cache which should make the Celeron an acceptable CPU.:beer::)

Not when you think the prescott is slowwer then the northwood. So the NEW Celeron will also have 30+ pipelines it NOW has to fill up on ONLY a 533bus and 256kb of cache.

I say the NEW Celeron will be much slowwer now. That will be really sad. A 3 Ghz celeron slowwer then a 1.4Ghz Celeron.
