Intel Celeron Dual-Core processor family is the latest generation of
Celeron-branded budget microprocessors. The family was introduced in
January 2008, and currently consists of only one processor - Celeron
E1200. The second member of this family, Celeron E1400, is planned to
be released in the second quarter of 2008. The Celeron Dual-core
family is based on Core microarchitecture, and include all basic Core
features:
- 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache per core;
- Level 2 cache shared between two cores.
- Support for SSE3 and Supplemental SSE3 instructions. Improvements
in Core micro-architecture allow the CPU to execute up to one 128-bit
SSE instruction each clock cycle.
- Intel 64 technology, formerly known as Extended Memory 64
Technology, or EM64T.
- Disable bit feature. When supported by operating system, this
feature prevents system infection by certain group of viruses and
malicious programs.
Dual-core Celerons include the same power-saving features as
other Core-based desktop microprocessors: Extended HALT and Extended
Stop Grant modes, and enhanced SpeedStep technology.
