Intel® Celeron® Processor

The Intel® Celeron® processor-based desktop platforms offer a robust computing experience together with the outstanding quality and reliability you expect from Intel.

Systems based on the Intel® Celeron processor are ideal for day-to-day computing, whether in the home, classroom, or office.

Take basic computing to new levels with dual-core processing. The Intel® Celeron® processor, with 512 KB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus, has two independent processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency, delivering superior energy efficient dual-core performance.

The Intel® Celeron® processor is also an exceptional value for single-core desktop computing delivering a balanced level of proven technology.

Features and benefits:

For dual-core and single-core processing:
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution	Enables delivery of more instructions per clock cycle to improve execution time and energy efficiency.
Intel® Smart Memory Access	Improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost	Accelerates a broad range of multimedia, encryption, scientific and financial applications by significantly improving performance when executing Intel® Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/SSE2/SSE3) instructions.
Intel® 64²	An enhancement to Intel’s 32-bit architecture to enable the processor to access larger amounts of memory.
Execute Disable Bit³	Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system.
Intel designed thermal solution for boxed processors	Intel boxed processors ship with a thermal solution specifically for this processor designed for maximum thermal and acoustic performance.
For dual-core processing only:
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache	The shared L2 cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core based on workload. This increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
