2Intel Celeron Processor
- Overview of the Celeron
- Introduced in 1999
- Equipped with MMX. Newer versions with SSE.
- Originally based on Pentium II
- Current versions use core similar to Pentium III
3Intel Celeron Processor
- Original Celeron
- Slower than other chips of the time
- No L2 cache
- Lacked casing
- Easily overclocked
- Inexpensive
4Intel Celeron Processor
- Later Celerons
- Moved to Socket370
- Based on Mendocino core
- SSE instruction set
- Half the L2 cache as the PIII
- Current Celerons
- Based on Coppermine core
5Intel Celeron Processor
- Old 66MHz FSB
- 500, 533, 566, 600, 633, 667, 700, 733, 766 MHz
- 100 MHz FSB
- 800, 850, 900, 950 MHz
- 1.0, 1.10, 1.20, 1.30 GHz
- Move to 133MHz FSB
6Intel Celeron Processor
- Packaging
- Single Edge Contact Cartridge 2 (S.E.C.C.2)
- Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA)
- Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array 2 (FC-PGA2)
7Intel Celeron Processor
- OS Compatability
- All Windows (including MS-DOS)
- Most Linux
- SCO Unix / UnixWare
- Sun Solaris
- OS/2
- OPENSTEP
8Intel Celeron Processor
- Features
- Based on P6 Micro-architecture
- 10-stage pipeline
- x86 decoder (CISC to RISC)
- 36-bit address space
- 64GB addressable memory
- MMX Instruction Set (SIMD)
- Streaming SIMD Extensions
9Intel Celeron Processor
Processor comparison
- Duron 64-bit cache to core pathway
- Celeron 256-bit cache to core pathway

Benchmarks
11Intel Celeron Processor
- Overclocking the Celeron
- No L2 cache
- Pentium II cores used
- 66MHz bus / 100MHz cores
- Current Celerons have locked clock multipliers.
- FSB must be changed to overclock the chip.
12Intel Celeron Processor
- Risks of overclocking
- Increases heat production
- Breaks down connections
- Other components may not work with faster bus
- DESTROYING THE CHIP!!!!
13Intel Celeron Processor
- Mobile Celeron
- Voltage difference
- Reduced power consumption
- Variable power consumption (Intel SpeedStep)
- 0.13-micron process
- Smaller chip size
14Intel Celeron Processor
- The Future of the Celeron
- Chip will still be produced
- However.
- Intel is focusing its marketing efforts on the
Pentium 4 for desktops and the mobile Pentium 4
for laptops.
