Willies and Celeys....

[dbal]

I recently built an office system for a friend of mine based on a 1.7Ghz Celeron and the next day and then I am wondering what are eventually the differences between this Celeron and my 1.5Ghz Wilamette P4 except the 128KB L2 cache size difference...Could someone summarise it for me and maybe post a comparison link in terms of real-life performance between the 2 proccesors? Thanx!

Check out this review of the 1.7 celery:

Nice, informative review.

Yep that was nice and the conclusion is clear-only the L2 cache size differs...But how about sth else I found in Intel's site? The cpus microarchitecture-NetBurst for the P4 and P6 Dynamic Execution for the Celeron. Is it a valid difference or it applies only to previous generation celerons?Anyone knows anything about it and the impact it has on the two processors if it is true?
