Celeron II Background

The .18-micron Celeron II is basically the Pentium III Coppermine upgrade to the Celeron marketing Strategy. Most users simply discard the II designation; even Intel marketing refers to this processor simply as Celeron. The Level 2 cache is scaled back to 128 KB, though all other Pentium III features are supported. The newer FCPGA socket format is also carried over, as is the 100-MHz bus speed for upper frequency ranges of the product line. Overclocking returns parallel those of the Coppermine family, with higher-end chips approaching their limits at 800 to 1100 MHz.
