New Celeron D Core gets a Speed Boost
qtothemax writes "The new Celeron core was released on the 25th. The processor, using Intel's new model number naming convention, looks to be quite a bit faster than the old core. The new core is based on the 90nm Prescott, which offers respectable performance, compared to the very slow Northwood based Celeron. It features a 256kB L2 cache, and a 533mhz FSB. Looks like Prescott's longer pipeline is more then offset by the better branch prediction and most importantly the doubled cache when it comes to the smaller cached Celeron. This Celeron may be able to compete with AMD's offerings based on more then name brand alone. Reviews and benchmarks are at Anandtech. I couldn't find any other good reviews, as budget chips rarely generate much excitement."
They're calling it the Duron-Duron.
:p
That line kinda gives away the joke, but its sorely needed when you look at the slashmods
The system had the verbosity of HTML combined with all the readability of compiled assembly viewed as bitmap images
Do Slashdot editors feel the need to edit submissions at all?

This needs to be "Northwood-based." The way you state it, dear qtothemax, will have less intelligent parsers thinking the Northwood core is slow, which it is not.

This is not a sentence. Also, it's than.

Please use the word THAN.
When you look at the state of the world, how can you not become a radical, liberal anarchist?
