Intel Introduces P4 Based Celeron

Anandtech is covering the new Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz based closely on the Pentium 4. Here's a snip:
While we don't normally cover Intel's Celeron line, whenever there's an introduction of a new Celeron core we're here to exploit it's overclockability. Today Intel is introducing the first Celeron processors based on a Pentium 4-derived core on a 0.18-micron manufacturing process. The use of the 0.18-micron manufacturing process is a bit puzzling (you'll understand why later) but the end result is that an overclocked Celeron could easily become a poor man's Pentium 4.
The new Celeron core is based on a 128KB L2 version of the original Willamette core that the Pentium 4 debuted with in November of 2000. Unlike previous-generation Celerons, the Willamette-128 core is no different architecturally than the Pentium 4's old Willamette core. The cache organization and mapping algorithms are still the same, the only difference is that the Celeron core is only outfitted with a 128KB L2 cache instead of the 256KB cache present on the original Pentium 4.
Sounds for some good deals. Read more here.
