I've got a pretty long answer there, and I think I provide a couple links in the answer there as well that may prove useful.
good luck

The L1 and L2 Caches are different. Celeron is Intel's low end, low L1 cache processor as compared to the mainstay P4. Sempron is the AMD version of the Celeron, with the same differences (lower L1 Cache) from the AMD mainstay Athlon 64.

They're all different classes of processor made by different companies. Intel make Pentium and Celeron chips, Pentium chips are their premium 'proper' CPUs. AMD make Athlon and Duron processors, where Athlon is the better model in this case.
Athlon/Pentiums are basically just faster, and thus more expensive, than the Duron/Celeron class chips.
There's a lot more to it obviously but that's the basics.

It has to do with the speed it works at. Further it has to do with the users ability to multitask. An example is that a celeron is an ok processor for computing it is not as fast as an turion which is from the same company as the atholon.
