So, is it confirmed that the Tualatin is the same as T-Celeron

[Falkentyne]

Can everyone now confirm this?

And , why were some earlier tests of the Tualatin Celeron, benchmarking SLOWER than an equivlent P3? (i think one review said the Tuatulan Celeron @ 1200 mhz performed about the same as a P3 1 ghz.

I need to make sure, in case I decide to eventually upgrade to one of these processors with the Powerleap adapter.

The P3 at 1gig is probably using 133mhz SDRAM while it uses 100mhz SDRAM. It should be the same as a 1.2ghz 256kb Cache Tualatin P3.

yep.. cauze the T-Celeron 1.2 starts at 100mhz bus with 12x multiplier. These Celerons will benefit as they are overclocked higher and higher. FSB will come in to play as these OC further.
