It is broken down by processor capability's. For example,
Celeron = (i686_MMX)
Celeron 300Mhz = (i686_MMX)
Celeron 933Mhz = (i686_MMX/SSE)
Celeron 1700Mhz = (i686_SSE2) = (i786)
Celeron M = (i686_SSE2) = (i786)

Wikipedia was used for most of the conversions, i.e.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microprocessors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_4_microprocessors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors

I have also post to this thread a more detail list.
