GaMeOvEr schrijft: "Weer wat fijne testjes met de nieuwe King of Overclocking: de Celeron II! Zelfde conclusie als elders al aangetroffen: niet zo snel als een CuMine, maar wel veel goedkoper en lekker te overclocken". Het exemplaar dat door Firingsquad werd getest kon tot een brute 900MHz overgeklokt worden, maar liefst 60% over spec!
If you judge by overclocking percentages, and if our processors are indicative of how all the processors perform, then the Celeron 566 overclocks more than %50 over its default speed, almost %60 in the case of our 901MHz chip. Unfortunately, we see from the benchmarks that the new Celeron doesn't perform as well as the P3 Coppermine on a clock-for-clock basis. We'll try to get the Q3 GeForce numbers out tonight, and we'll try to have a true P3 vs. Celeron comparison soon.
It looks like the new Celerons hit the mark on price and overclockability, but performance doesn't match the P3's. Then again, you might be able to use brute speed to make up for the performance inequality, but the P3s will only become more attractive as they fall in price.
