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

10. Intel Celeron Processor
Benchmarks
AMD Duron Intel Celeron
SYSmark 2000 127 124
SiSoft Sandra 2000 1947 MIPS / 973 MFLOPS 1883 MIPS / 935 MFLOPS
3DMark 2000 3726 3629
CPU Mark 328 283
MP3 encoding 122 seconds 123 seconds
Inspire3D 366 seconds 339 seconds

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.
