Intel Celeron family is a line of budget x86 processors based on Pentium designs. Originally based on Intel pentium2architecture, the Celeron processors migrated over time to pentium3 and Pentium 4 architectures. Priced lower than their Pentium counterparts, the Celeron processors have certain high-end processor features disabled The Celerons are also slower than similar-clocked Pentiums due to smaller L2 cache size and sometimes slower bus speed. Celeron CPUs are usually packaged the same way as Pentium 2/3/4 processors and can be used in motherboards designed for Pentium 2/3/4 processors .Distinguishing between generations of Celeron desktop processors is easy because different generations of Celeron processors used different package types. Celerons based on Pentium II core was packaged either in Slot 1 or plastic PPGA package. Celerons based on Pentium III core was manufactured in FC-PGA package. Pentium 4 generation of Celeron processors is packagedin 478-pin FC-PGA2 package.Systems based on the Intel® Celeron processor are ideal for day-to-day computing, whether in the home, classroom, or office.The Intel® Celeron® processor, with 512 KB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus, has two independent processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency, delivering superior energy efficient dual-core performance.The Intel® Celeron® processor is also an exceptional value for single-core desktop computing delivering a balanced level of proven technology
