2. Intel 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

3. Intel Celeron Processor • Original Celeron • Slower than other chips of the time • No L2 cache • Lacked casing • Easily overclocked • Inexpensive

4. Intel 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

5. Intel 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

6. Intel 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)

7. Intel Celeron Processor • OS Compatability • All Windows (including MS-DOS) • Most Linux • SCO Unix / UnixWare • Sun Solaris • OS/2 • OPENSTEP

8. Intel 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

9. AMD Duron Intel Celeron L1 Cache 128KB 32KB L2 Cache 64KB 128KB Bus Speed 200MHz (100MHz x 2) 66MHz Interface Socket A Socket 370 Intel Celeron Processor Processor comparison • Duron : 64-bit cache to core pathway • Celeron : 256-bit cache to core pathway

11. Intel 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.

12. Intel Celeron Processor • Risks of overclocking • Increases heat production • Breaks down connections • Other components may not work with faster bus • DESTROYING THE CHIP!!!!

13. Intel Celeron Processor • Mobile Celeron • Voltage difference • Reduced power consumption • Variable power consumption (Intel SpeedStep) • 0.13-micron process • Smaller chip size

14. Intel 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.
