Over bij ZDNN staat nu ook een artikel over de vernieuwde Celeron die in 2000 zal komen. De processor zal dus overgeheveld worden naar de Pentium 3 Coppermine technologie, met alle voordelen van dien:
With this transition, Celeron will receive a performance increase thanks to a number of features that are now reserved for high-end Pentium III processors. The list includes Streaming SIMD Extensions, a set of instructions for processing multimedia, along with support for a 100MHz system bus, sources said.Celeron will also adopt a new packaging design, called "flip chip," pin grid array for the 370 pin Socket 370. Flip chip packaging moves the pins that attach the chip to the motherboard from its edges to its center, making for a shorter electrical path and a shorter thermal path, and increasing performance and heat dissipation, sources said.
