The Celeron is a low-cost family of processors based on Pentium II and Pentium III architectures. The Celeron consists of several sub-families, including the Covington, Mendocino, Willamette, Northwood, 200 Series, Mobile Celeron (Tualatin), and Mobile Celeron (900 series). Celeron processors range in speeds from 266 MHz to 2800 MHz, giving them the edge over the Pentium III in maximum capabilities. They also have the advantage in L2 cache sizes, ranging to a maximum of 1 megabyte. The Celeron family consists of a wide range of socket types (the interface for which the processor is designed), including Slot 1, Socket 370, Socket 478, Socket 615. Celeron processors remained in production as of mid-2010.

Pentium III
-
Pentium III processors were the successor of the Pentium II family. The Pentium III consisted of several variations, including the Pentium III Xeon, Pentium III (Coppermine-T), Mobile Pentium III, Mobile Pentium III-M, and more. Pentium III's had processing speeds ranging from 450 MHz to 1400 MHz. They also had bus speeds of 100 MHz or 133 MHz, lower than the Celeron's 66 MHz to 1066 MHz capabilities. The Pentium III was made up of several different socket types, including Slot 1, Slot 2, Socket 370, Socket 495.
