Xbox\'s CPU is a Celeron, NOT a Pentium III
« on: November 25, 2001, 01:02:58 PM »
Apparently, the CPU that the Xbox uses is not as everywhere estimated a Pentium III, but none other than a slightly modified Celeron Processor at 733 MHz. Thought this might be some interesting news for a few of you guys, so I thought I let you know.

Source: Some PC magazine. I\'ll be back when I find an article on the web confirming this.

I too will say who cares?  It does the job nicely.  And besides, it\'s as much a P3 as it is a celeron; it\'s a modified celeron which puts it nicely between the two.  But again who cares?

"The CPU that powers the Xbox is a Coppermine based Pentium III with only 128KB L2 cache.  While this would make many think that the processor is indeed a Celeron, one of the key performance factors of the Pentium III that is lost in the Celeron core was left intact for this core."

Again, not that it matters to anyone besides PS2 fanboys, it is neither a celeron or P3. That\'s a good article.  I read that quite a while ago.

The X-Box CPU is just...the X-CPU !

...but...if you like...you could say it\'s a Coppermine based Pentium III with only 128KB L2 cache......The Coppermine core was left with an 8-way set associative L2 cache instead of the 4-way set associative cache of the Celeron.....

The P3 can\'t do nice graphics :) ...but the X-Box...can do mindblowing graphics...

For the last time...X-Box is a 3 processors machine,the X-CPU,the X-GPU and the MCPX and we have to look at the performace of the whole console...not a single chip...though the X-CPU is very very powerful in regard to the tasks it has to do !

Nope...nope nicely...it does a great job...consider that it\'s very powerful in MIPS...and MIPS are so important for AI for example...
