Editor s take: Intel’s Celeron line of processors debuted in the late 90s as a more affordable alternative to its pricier Pentium II line and to challenge rivals like AMD and Cyrix in the entry-level segment. Early models also developed a reputation among enthusiasts as being excellent overclockers and some are still being tinkered with to this day.
A case in point is this recent achievement from Chinese overclocker ivanqu0208 who managed to push an Intel Celeron D 347 from its base frequency of 3.06GHz all the way up to 8.36GHz.
