Intel Celeron D 346 3.06GHz

[krille70]

Hi Everybody.

I have question. I have a computer with this CPU Intel Celeron D 346
3.06GHz. Now to my question, what does the D in Celeron D means? A friend of me told me that that it means "Double" now I just would like to know what it means. And is there another version of Celeron. The one we have is called Intel Celeron D 346 3.06GHz. So is there anybody who knows what the "D" stands for?

Yours

"What does the “D” mean? The “D” doesn’t stand for anything. It is merely a way of distinguishing the current generation of Celerons from past generations. The Celeron and Celeron D are two totally different CPUs. The Celeron uses the Northwood core built on 130nm, and has 128k L2 cache. The default FSB is 100 MHz. The Celeron D uses the newer, but not always better, Prescott core built on 90nm, and has 256k L2 cache. The default FSB is slightly higher at 133 MHz."
