Pentium 4 Northwood Celeron tested

A SOURCE WHO HAS one of the new Pentium 4 Celerons which use the Northwood 130 nanometer process has sent us some benchmarks of the unlocked chip he's got hold of.

The CPU and BIOS information in Sisoft Sandra clearly shows that the 1800MHz Pentium 4 Celeron with 512K of cache is a chip that's clearly under test right now.

The model is listed on the screenshot below as a P4C Northwood 256 Celeron 4 1.7G+1.5V.

The user has experimented overclocking the part on a couple of motherboards, and some details of those results are also supplied below.

Yesterday, Intel refused to confirm or deny whether such processors were slated for production, but reiterated that the process technology for 130 nanometer Pentium 4s was ramping up well. µ
