Intel Celeron 700

Overclocking

Our particular Celeron 700 wouldn't run reliably at any overclocked speed other than 840MHz which was obtained using the 80MHz FSB speed which is still slower than the 850/100MHz overclock we obtained with the Celeron 566. Even raising the core voltage to 1.75v wouldn't help push the limits of the processor any further.

The Test

Note: The BX platform running at 133MHz FSB and the Celeron running at 100MHz FSB are both overclocked platforms and are not sold in that form on the retail market. Those performance numbers are only included for purposes of remaining thorough with our comparison.

Note 2: The i815 & VIA 133A platforms had the memory bus running at 100MHz while the FSB was running at 66MHz.
