Celerons With Northwood Cores

[kanbeki]

Anyone know if NW Celerys are supposed to OC decent or do they just suck all around

[Agallion]

name says it all..

 

no matter what..they are still a celeron

 

 

Celeron D's are slightly better than normal cellys though i belive

[jammin]

The celeron D's are prescott core right? In which case the extra L2 cache should make them better yes.

northwood cellys acording to Mangar they overclock great and keep up with the high end p4s

[BloodySunday]

I think Mangar has a Celly D. And eventhough you can get the Cellys pretty high speeds they still dont match a P4. May beat some XP's but the 128kb cache (256kb for the Celly D's) is pretty crippiling.

you would have to ask him i know hes got like 4 or 5 and 1 of them is a celly d but he was talking about all together that they can keep up with a p4

[MindDrive]

all cellerons started out as pentiums - i think sandra2004 or one of the major benchmarking utilities will tell you the maximum that a processor will overclock to

 

overclocking a celly is kinda like pulling a tooth with one eye - sometimes u get it sometimes you gouge out your gums and pull your nose hair through your lip.....

At whatever I overclock my celeron too (2.0ghz northwood core) sandra says it keeps up with the pentium equivilent in both the mathematical and multimedia benchmarks. My 3dmark01 score is only around 10k though (at 2.7ghz). Take that for whatever its worth. Remember though, my 2.0ghz can handle over 3.0ghz though! that kinda makes up for the some of the shortcomings.
