Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1622) has an article on the new celeron processor that is based on the Pentium 4.
The new Celeron ends up being a logical next-step for Intel and a good one at that. The processor needs a 256KB L2 cache and it will eventually get one but it won't be able to trample all over the Duron, instead it will be forced to compete with the lower end of AMD's Athlon XP line
good article and they did get the 1.7 celeron to overclock to 2.26 and it seemed to do ok in testing against it's P4 counterparts (exept where the cache is really needed badly IE:games)
