Pentium 4 Vs. Celeron

doesnt the Celeron also have smaller L1 and L2 cache sizes than the P4? that would affect performance quite a bit.

smaller L2, but I believe the L1 is the same size.

and yes, it is a pretty big deterrent to performance, probably one of the top reasons to go P4 over celeron

The p4 has fewer cycles, but doing more work per cycle, where the celeron has more cycles but is doing less per cycle.

They have the same number of pipeline stages. Have a lookie at Willie vs Northy

Again, for the original question: TEST IT!
