Anand heeft een 24 pagina's dikke review geschreven over de Celeron 600, die samen met de 566MHz de eerste Celeron is met een Coppermine128 core:
The Coppermine128 core features the same advantages of the Pentium III?s core such as its SSE instructions and an Advanced Transfer Cache, but it drops the L2 cache size down to 128KB (hence the name Coppermine128) versus the 256KB found in the Pentium III?s Coppermine core. [break]Deze nieuwe Celeron presteert, ondanks de 128 kb cache met 256 bits databus, wat teleurstellend:[/break]The new Celeron is definitely not the most impressive processor out there but then again it wasn't meant to be. The Celeron is and has always been aimed at the "Basic PC" market segment not at the performance market segment and especially not at the high-end market segment. Considering the fact that the Celeron, as a 66MHz FSB part could still be used in an older LX motherboard provided that the manufacturer provided BIOS support for the chip, the CPU does an excellent job at offering good entry level performance at a not so high cost. [break]Ook lukte het Anand niet om de bus op te voeren tot 100MHz:[/break] While we had expected the new Celeron to be an overclocking madman, it will take just a little bit longer for that dream to come true. We were only able to get our hands on a 600MHz sample which, because of its 9.0x clock multiplier would only be able to hit 900MHz when used with a 100MHz FSB setting. Although an overclock like this may be possible as yields improve, our sample wasn't able to do it. [break]75 en 83MHz FSB is volgens Ace's Hardware wel haalbaar. En ten slotte nog wat over de Spitfire, de goedkope Athlon variant van AMD:[/break] With AMD's Spitfire due out shortly the "Basic PC" market segment is about to get interesting, with the new Celerons being crippled by the 66MHz FSB/memory bus to the point where the older Pentium IIIs are faster than them, an AMD Spitfire with 128KB of L2 cache could easily take the performance crown from Intel in the low-end market. At the same time, there is nothing to say that the Spitfire isn't crippled in another way as well...
hij is toch wel 100 fsb en socket 370 of toch weer slot1?
