It makes a big difference to OEMs.
companies like gateway, dell, HP, etc... charge an average of 20-50% more per hardware.
So if you had a Pentium Dual Core computer, @ $500, and switch it to a Celeron Dual-Core, it would be about $350-450, that small of a price difference can be alot to some people, and nothing at all to others. But considering that pentium dual cores are ~70+, having a ~30-50 dual core can make a basic computer better(going from single core), and cheaper (as apposed to a more expensive cpu.)
