News.com reports that the new P4 celerons will be coming out this Wed. It drops back to 128K cache.
In addition to running as fast as 1.8GHz, the new chips will come with a 400MHz bus. However, the new Celerons will come with a 128KB secondary cache, while current Celerons have a 256KB secondary cache--a pool of memory inside the chip that allows rapid data access. The performance gap between the new chips, therefore, won't be as significant as the speed differences might indicate.
