PC Citrix heeft een review gepost van de nieuwe 0,18micron Celeron 'II' 533. Evenals Overclockers.com kon men de C533 zonder problemen naar 800MHz overklokken. De processor presteert op die snelheid in Quake III en 3DMark2000 beter dan een PIII-550E, maar blijft duidelijk achter bij een PIII op 803/146MHz:
Well, it looks as though the new Celeron will become another overclocking legend. It overclocked to 800MHz with ease, only needing to bump the voltage up to 1.8v with our combination. I have a feeling that some may go higher, and we were able to hit 824MHz, but not without stability issues. Humphrey from PCNut let me know that he just obtained a 566MHz model, and it is humming along at 850MHz. Who would have thought you could pick up a CPU for very little green and put it into the mid-to-high 800MHz range? We have awarded the FC-PGA Celeron 5 out of 5 P-Marks for excellent value and outstanding performance. We do believe that this will become the next hot overclocking CPU, and replace the millions of current Celerons in circulation. You just watch.
Thanks Remedy voor de tip.
