Why it existed
manufacturer stated
Intel targets reliable affordable Basic PC systems with improved performance
Intended users: entry-level/basic PC users
Engineering response: 333 MHz Celeron with 128 KB integrated L2 cache and 440EX AGPset
Intel sponsor; index confirms result/configuration family but an individual 333 MHz disclosure date was not located in this pass.
Release evidence
The year above is a research-cohort label. Announcement, production, shipment and retail availability are distinct events.
Proposed event
product introduction and system boxed availability
Proposed timing
1998-08-24 · exact precision
Assessment
proposed
Manufacturer name is shortened from Intel Corporation; display wording preserves the named 333 MHz variant. Verification supports the exact introduction and stated system/boxed availability date.
Intel identifies the new Celeron 333 MHz processor on August 24, 1998 and says systems and boxed processors are available today; integrated L2 cache is stated.
Open questions and review
Ordering part number and package variants remain unknown; cited integrated L2 cache does not settle SKU identity.
No owner discrepancy decision is recorded. This does not mean there are no unresolved issues.
duplicate · resolved no change
The Celeron 300A and 333 records are separate named processors in the August announcement; no duplicate identity found.
Intel names 333 MHz and 300A MHz as separate new processors and describes the 300A suffix explicitly.
Follow-up: Preserve 300A exactly and do not merge by numeric frequency.
Original intake sources
These notes preserve the state at intake. Later verification is shown under Release evidence above; an original note saying verification had not occurred is not the current assessment.
