Salut,

- Linear interpolation for a Celeron 500 would lead to 2.80 Mkey/s which is nearly what gave the PIII. If this is exact, the performance/price ratio is outstanding.

This is exactly what I get with my BP6 and a pair of 333 O'Cd @ 500 MHz, happily crunching for about one month, under the then-Current (the rc5 run was at the beginning just a test to validate the cooling system of the box - I have to find time to try 550 MHz)

- This is a pure core test. Do not expect same ratio on dayly operations. - David Malone have a really interesting graph that shows impact of cache size and RAM speed over a core-intensive process. It can be found at : http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwmalone/comp/perf.ps and shows the L1, L2 and RAM speed and size steps.

Speculation:

Intel build the same core every time. If the cache runs full speed, it's a Xeon. If only half of the cache runs at full speed, it's a PIII, if a quarter of the cache runs at full speed it's a celeron. If the cache runs at half speed, it's a PII. If nothing works, back to the fundry.

Probably exagerated, but it's the basic idea.
