The Celeron

"delivering great quality at an exceptional value"

Proven technology, exceptional value

Celeron

• is a range of x86 CPUs from Intel targeted at budget/value personal computers

• can run all IA-32 computer programs, but their performance is somewhat lower when compared to similar, but higher priced, Intel CPU brands.

• the Celeron brand will often have less cache memory, or have advanced features purposely disabled. These missing features have had a variable impact on performance. In some cases, the effect was significant and in other cases the differences were relatively minor.

History

• Introduced in April 1998,[2] the first Celeron branded CPU

was based on the Pentium II branded core. • The latest Celeron design (as of January 2008) is based on

the Core 2 Duo (Allendale).

Intel® Celeron® Processor

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

Background

• the Celeron was introduced in response to Intel's loss of the low-end market, in particular to Cyrix's 6x86, AMD's K6, and IDT Winchip

• Intel's existing low-end product, the Pentium MMX, was no longer performance competitive at 233 MHz

All Intel® Celeron® processors feature:
