Intel Celeron 800: The first 100MHz FSB Celeron

And to round off our gaming performance tests, Expendable continues to support the same results we have seen throughout the test suite: The Celeron 800 is approximately as fast as a Duron 600. 

In spite of the Celeron 800's 100MHz FSB, and the performance gains it has shown thus far over the original Celeron 766, a faster FSB frequency can only feed the processor more data, it cannot change the processor's architecture.

The Duron, being a direct derivative of the Athlon, can flex its powerful FPU muscle in SPECviewperf and continue to outperform even the fastest Celerons.  So while the Celeron may have caught up in performance to the Duron in most home/office applications, it is still not a value priced, high-end solution like the Duron can be passed off as.
