PIII 667 vs. Cel 533@800?

[zakkenay0]

I just ahve a quick question, does anyone know how these two processors direclty stack up against each other, or know of any benchmarks for the two?

thanks

Check some of Anands CPU articles, probably one for the Duron 700/800MHz. I think they show overclocked 566@850 CII processors. That ought to give you some idea. My guess? In games they are going to be very close, in bussiness apps, the Celeron will win hands down.

zakkenay0,
I would say they will be very equal in playing games, but I'd have to disagree with Killrose about the business apps. The PII 677 should perform better, because of the 256k of L2 cache and it is also running on the 133 FSB.

The Celeron will perform about a pIII that is 150-200 mhz slower.

Here's my Sandra benches on the celeron :-

Dhrystone ALU 2173 MIPS
Whetstone FPU 1075 MFLOPS

CPU Multimedia Benchmark
Integer SSE 4358 it/s
Floating Point SSE 5337 it/s

Memory Benchmark
Int ALU/RAM Bandwidth 322 MB/s
Float FPU/RAM Bandwidth 357 MB/s

problem is FSB of 100 severly degrades memory intensive apps. I went from a celeron @ 850 to a p3-667 and its much snappier in every day usage.
