It seems that Intel is starting to get used to being one step ahead of AMD, at least in clock speed. Following the, not so flattering comparison of the Celeron 1.1 GHz to AMD's recently released economy model, the 1.1GHz Duron, Intel decided it was time to pull the ace from its sleeve.
The 1.2GH Celeron has materialized on the, so called, economy processor market and it boasts quite a few improvements. The new Intel offering includes additional design features, such as 256 KB of on-chip, level-two cache with a high-bandwidth interface to the processor core.
While we wait for the inevitable explosion of benchmarking and evaluation tests of the chip, it is obvious that once more Intel have to answer one question.
What does the phrase "economy processor" really mean? In 1,000-unit quantities, the desktop Intel Celeron processor at 1.20 GHz is priced at $103.
This means that we all have a choice of purchasing a 1.2GHz Celeron, at a retail price of USD 110 or an Athlon 1.4 GHz processor for exactly the same price.
I know which one I'll get.

how could you say that intel has better price when you've just read the article which says that 1.4GHz Atlon costs as much as a 1.2GHz Celeron you stupid idiot!!! and what's this "better performance" S**t 1.4GHz Athlon is faster than P4 1.8GHz for business applications, and that's the market in which Intel is aiming their processors to sell in. It's not really just the clock speed anymore, it's the matter of how much instructions and the bandwidth that the processor and its architechture can handle that matters. look at Sun's UltraSPARC chips, the Sun FIRE 15K servers are using 900MHz chips and still much faster than P4 servers, and mroe reliable too. Intel is just crap, fooling everyone with their faster clock speeds, but not faster performance.

Athlon Rulez Intel SCUM,,FACE IT INTEL FANS YOUR SHITTY PENTIUM SERIES IS f**kED!!!!AMD Rulez over all and the Celeron is so shit even the VIA C3 Kicks its puny Intel ASSS!!
