I saw in Infoworld Electric column that mentioned the 2nd generation Celeron has a 128KB L2 cache. The cache is on the processor die and therefore runs at the same speed as the processor.

I've just read an article in the German computer magazine c't where a bunch of processors were compared (<A HREF="http://www.heise.de/ct/98/18/020/"><A HREF="http://www.heise.de/ct/98/18/020/</A">http://www.heise.de/ct/98/18/020/</A</A>>).
