What ll be intel's next low end processor.when the much anticipitated 533fsb p4 hits the market.Anyone has a clue.will it be celeron using tulatin core or a cut down version of p4 with less cache.

the next low end processor for intel is going to be the the celeron based on the old P4's core (willy) IIRC...with 400mhz FSB.
not much i can say bout that...

It will probably use SDRAM to cheapen it up further on, they might strip some components too, or worse, some BUS speed. Therefore a Celly P4, is already worse than any Celly out there. A Tually is still better, and a Duron still kicks both systems out for an even lower price. Don't bother with Celerons really, unless you want to overclock Tually Cellys, which OC very well.

And don't forget the whopping 128k of L2 :mad:

Hmm, a 1.8GHz Celeron is probably going to be no faster than a 933MHz P3.

I think we're talking compairable to a 500Mhz PII if it's a 128 L2 Willy.

I thought they would make it a 128 Northwood simply because it's cheeper with the .13 micron production to make. Or is it going to be a .13 micron Willy?

Maybe they'll try to go a different route with it and pair it with EDO DRAM :wink:

Wish I could give you a link on this but I only have this on paper,the new Celly pross will be a P4 Welly core whit 128K L2 cache built on the .18u process ,the key factor for the new Celly will be the price,they are supposed to go at a lower price than the Duron on a 1hz for 1hz basis.

They will also be a new chipset for the Celly by Intel whit all-on-board that will be call 845GL,the new Cely 1.4Ghz will sell for around ESP 125$ Can (+/-90$ US).

edit;
Forgot to mension the 845GL is a DDR chipset...just to let you know

They might as well do onboard L2 and no RAM. Just one big swapfile.

So? Some P4s are cheeper than some Athlons on a 1hz for 1hz basis. Doesn't make them a better value straight out of the box.

You can't compair the arcitectures on a hz to hz basis. Besides, Duron will be dead by 2003 anyway.

I really don't understand Intel's thinking these days. Them coming out with like 50 different chipsets confusing everyone. (in everyone I mean average person) Intel's pretty tricky with their marketing, kinda smart too, is gonna make themselves miserable when more and more of 'us' become more informed about computers and so forth. Coming off of the tuallies, and going to the willy with 128K of cache is like running aquanox on VGA drivers. (exaggeration there) It's gonna suck and this die wil probably be tiny like 40mm^2. Hope they'll replace some of the stuff when they move to NW celeys.

It's just too much... the chip will be suffering from lack of bandwidth, it's just not thinkable. If I was chip-sensitive, I'd feel like I'm being cut my arms and legs! Utterly barbaric Intel!

Welcome to Intel's budget world. Ever since the era of the P3, the Celerons have just plain sucked.

50 different chipsets? Only 3 so far for the P4 (two, technically, but for this purpose i845 and i845D are separate). Did I miss what you were saying?

(And yes, I know you didn't mean 50 literally, but 3 isn't that many)

<font color=blue>Hi mom!</font color=blue>

Probably meant for Celly, PIII, P4, XP etc.

Head to head with a Duron. Oooo baby! I can't wait for a 1ghz Willamette with 128KB of L2 cache! Maybe we can get them to reduce the 8KB L1 cache.

XP? Why would Intel release an Athlon chipset? :tongue:

Reply to FatBurger

look at the upside...the P4 celly will only last a little over a year (which is 12 months too long)

Somewhat good news, but a year for a 128k Willamette is one year too long.

I simply thought he referred to all chipsets out there. Not just the Intel ones. [evil, slimy, sarcastic tongue]

No, I meant like the i845G, GL, GLL, MD or whatever I'll try and find the site where I saw this.

Reply to Chuck232

Good news, we got another C3 wannabe processor here! On the hindsight, it might OC well....

This is the one I was talking about. Like look at the chipsets: D850EMV2, 845EBG2, D845GBV, D845GRG, D845GLAD, and it keeps on going.

These chipsets are yet to be released, but when I first read this, I was blown away. If number of chipsets represented the strength of a company, AMD would be non-existant by now. j/k :smile:

Ahh...I see what you mean. Coming out with 50 chipsets as in planning to release 50 chipsets. I thought you meant Intel had come out with 50 chipsets already. Thanks for the article though, hadn't seen it before.

another thing worth mentioning, Nwood w/256L2 is suppose to be the <i>next</i> celeron after the willy 128...
that may be worth looking at, but by that time the multipliers should be astronomical, huge latency penalty for going to system RAM... nwood Cely 4000 will probably still only equal a P4 3000 or so, but how high would it go?
could be the next big overclocker. odds are by then we'll have Prestonia anyway...

the willy celeron?
in this situation, Intel reminds me of a former employer of mine. he'll knowingly sell total pieces of #@$%%! thinking his name attached will bring customers throwing money at him...

news of the 128k cellery has been aroudn for a while now, just not very common.

and boy is it gonna SUCK!
gonna be hot (0.18) and slow (128k)
2 outta 2 LOL

hehe
lets take a processor architecture that requires high mhz and low latency on die cache's plus high bandwidth memory, cut the mhz, split the cache, give it 25% the bandwidth!
eureka!!
we'll call it Celeron!! we'll use billions of dollars of research and make millions!!
/pinky to mouth
muahaha!!

yep... i think its conclusive that its gonna suck.
the only nit picking is the fine detail of "how much?"

mate it with a DDR chipset like the new and more efficient 845G and it may not be too bad.
but with sdram its gonna suck like a toothless whore. (pardon the expression) :smile:

and with sdram will it be able to beat the cellery 1.3 or 1.4?

[sarcasm]But at least it'll be "fast"! 1.8GHz?? I mean come on, MHZ/GHz is all that matters isn't it?[/sarcasm]

See to most people they'll see, 1.8GHz Celeron, 1.3GHz Duron. Hmmmm I wonder which'll be better. Since MHz and GHz to them is all that really matters, the celey it is. What is AMD going to do in the recent future to counter this move by Intel? Since no Durons will be made on the .13um process, I'm guessing it's kinda reaching the end of it's life by now. There's gonna be a big hole that only Intel will be able to fill. Not good for AMD, since a lot of people buy Celerons/Durons for just simple surfing.

i dont know about you but the CPU's arent that expansive right now, its not like the top model costs 1000$US, back on those days we had to have some cheap ass solution for that yet now they all sell relatively low.
i dont see a need for a celly.

But for a computer illiterate person who barely knows how to run Windows, they'd obviously want a cheap solution for running IE and MSN or AIM or ICQ. They don't care really about speed, just price, and since they get 1.8GHz!! that's just an extra to brag about. "Hey look, my 1.8 Celeron is better than your 1.3GHz Duron!" I know that processors nowadays aren't expensive if you know what you're doing, but for 50% of the market, they don't care about IPC, or SSE optimizations and so forth. They just want something that's adequate, cheap, and that sounds 'fast'.

i dont see how educational level of a person, reguarding computers is anything but connected to expansive solution, the sellers sell the most expansive stuff to morons(excuse my franch), besides even if there is a 1800+ model i would buy 1600+ coz its smarter.
itel wont make a cheap solution for something that is already dirt cheap.
besides they really make those for companies that need something cheap, and i think the P3 solution is the cheapest and best way to go.

The new Celerons will be quite cheap since they are maufactured on old technology, (.18um process still) they are an extremely beat up, castrated Willy P4 core that will be quite small I'll guess since a lot of features wont be included. This should all help to make a chip that will conform to many peoples' tastes which are, if I may repeat myself, adequate for their needs (net surfing mostly), will cost dirt cheap, and will sound nice when they tell their neighbors they got a new comp.

The new Celerons will fit those perameters almost perfectly and why would anyone complain if it is adequate for your needs and is cheap? Even though benchmarks may show that it is slower than even a 1.3GHz Celeron, from now, it wont matter because it'll still be adequate and it'll sound faster. 1.8 vs. 1.3 hmmm.....

So my point is not that people wont buy the more expensive P4s, it's that many will find the new Celerons perfect for their needs and that AMD doesn't have something that can compete with it at a MHz level. Not even at a PR rating level, since the Durons will be gone.

P.S. Intel wont make these chips cheaper than the current Celerons. They'll be a slight bit cheaper so that they will make more money, but to a "moron" they'll think that 1.8 is always better than 1.3, so the extra $10 will have been worth it. By the way, PIII's are quite expensive. Intel's trying to migrate the user to the P4's and they are slowly fading the P3's away.
