Intel Celeron E1600 OC'ed to 3.6GHz
http://en.hardspell.com/doc/showcont.asp?news_id=2144

Remember the Celeron 300A, the most bang-for-buck processor ever made? I had one of those. I ordered one that came in a motherboard/CPU bundle. It was overclocked and tested by the dealer to 450MHz, a 50% overclock. I used the thing for 7 years before it finally croaked (and I think it was the motherboard that died from aging caps, not the processor).

Intel is coming back with Celeron E1600, and it appears that the same ridiculous 50% overclocking is achievable at least on engineering samples. If the same results are met on production (Core architecture chips have a fairly good track record as far as the performance of ES vs. production units are concerned) then I'd expect a stampede of buyers once again scooping up these little buggers once they hit the shops...

Feels like 1999 all over again.
