Well, I run benchmarking suite from
www.passmark.com on first of every
new model of PCs that I build for resale. And according to that
benchmark there's hardly any difference. Interestingly, I was able to
overclock a 2.4 Celeron to 3.4GHz with standard V-core and cooling. The
best I could do with a 2.4GHz P4 was 2.9GHz.
