Op deze droge nieuwsdag zet FiringSquad een artikel online over het overklokken van een Celeron 533 FC-PGA. Hun exemplaar wist 816MHz (8 x 102MHz) te behalen waarmee de prestaties ongeveer overeen kwam met die van een Athlon 750 @ 818MHz. Hier de conclusie:
We like the FC-PGA Celeron processors. They're cheap, they overclock fairly well, and did we mention that they were cheap? Our Celeron was able to hang in there with the Athlon through most of the tests. The 816MHz overclocked speed was a bit of a disappointment, but we're pretty sure we would have been able to reach higher speeds with a little extra power. As always, keep in mind that we only tested a single processor and our results are in no way indicative of how all the 533A processors overclock.
