Pentium 4 vs. Celeron

In an earlier life I made my living trying to develope techniques to quantify computer performance. Thus I know that no one number can express "performance".

We see multigigahertz Celerons and "slower" Pentium 4s.

I'm so naive that I don't know the architectural differences between the "C" and the "P4".

Knowing these difference one might guess how they would impact performance on a specific task. Can the higher clock rates often seen in Celerons compensate for the architectural difference in some applications?

Any takers? Naples?
