There's a new fastest Celeron on the block...

Whereas earlier in the week AMD released the Athlon XP 2200+, targeting the high-performance end of the desktop market, the latest release from Intel addresses the 'value' end of the range.

Clocking 1.8GHz, the new Celeron features a 400MHz system bus (with the 845GL chipset) and 32K of level 1 cache and 128K of level 2 cache.

In terms of pricing, the 1.8GHz Celeron costs $103, based on 1,000-unit quantities.

You can find more info on Celeron processors on the Intel Web site.
