Go up one level in this thread

I have read that Celerons are made on the same production line as Pentium 3
processors.

To turn a PIII into a Celeron, apparently they just disable 128K of the 256K
on-board cache.

If this is true, Celerons represent very good value for money, PIIIs represent
very poor value for money, and Intel's marketing dept deserve praise for selling
Pentium IIIs at such a high price!
