Pentium II 400 Slot-1 19.2

The only interesting anomaly here was the extremely low Winbench99 CPU score posted by both of the Celeron processors. Check out the corresponding page in the Celeron 366 Preview- the vanilla 333, the lowest reference benchmark performer actually beat out both of the Celeron 400s. I reran the tests several times, but the results remained the same.

None of the other tests run reflected this discrepancy however, as indicated by the Winstone tests - neither of the Celeron processors lagged behind the Pentium II - in fact, they either matched or beat the P2 in each test. When it comes to gaming and general business apps, the Celeron 400 has every bit of muscle that the Pentium II has, all at 66Mhz FSB and at a lower price point.

 Quick Facts
Winstone99 focuses more heavily on multitasking operations. The Pentium II scores well partly because of its larger 512k cache running at half-CPU speed, while the Celeron's full-speed cache makes up the difference, even though it's only 1/4 the size.
