Architecture Diagram Of The Celeron Willamette

We already published this diagram twice. However, as it also applies to the new Celeron, here it is again for your reference.

Please see the initial Pentium 4 review for more details on the Willamette core, or our review of the Celeron 1.7 GHz for some more information.

Whilst the battle at the low-end of the computer market was usually fought between AMD Duron and Intel Celeron, today there is another enemy for Intel.
