The Intel® Celeron® processor is designed for uni-processor based Value PC desktops and is binary compatible with previous generation Intel architecture processors. The Celeron processor provides good performance for applications running on advanced operating systems such as Microsoft* Windows*98, Windows NT*, Windows* 2000, Windows XP and Linux*. This is achieved by integrating the best attributes of Intel processors—the dynamic execution performance of the P6 microarchitecture plus the capabilities of MMX™ technology—bringing a balanced level of performance to the Value PC market segment. The Celeron processor offers
the dependability you would expect from Intel at an exceptional value. Systems based on Celeron processors also include the latest features to simplify system management and lower the cost of ownership for small business and home environments.

The Intel® Celeron® processor is based on the P6 microarchitecture and is optimized for the Value PC market segment. The Intel Celeron processor, like the Pentium® II processor, features a Dynamic Execution microarchitecture and executes MMX™ technology instructions for enhanced
media and communication performance. The Intel Celeron processor also utilizes multiple lowpower states such as AutoHALT, Stop-Grant, Sleep, and Deep Sleep to conserve power during idle times.
The Intel Celeron processor is capable of running today’s most common PC applications with up to 4 GB of cacheable memory space. As this processor is intended for Value PC systems, it does not provide multiprocessor support. The Pentium II and Pentium® III processors should be used for multiprocessor system designs.
