Celeron CPU - 2.5 GHz Retail Boxed

Boxed product with fan and heatsink, NO memory. 400MHz, 128 KB cache and 0.18 micron die size. Uses the Socket 478 FC-PGA2 (Flip Chip-Pin Grid Array) connector and requires a 850 or 845 chipset motherboard. The Intel Celeron processor is designed to bring a balanced level of performance and value to basic PC desktops. Equipped with the dynamic execution performance of the P6 micro-architecture and the capabilities of Intel MMX technology, Celeron processors provide the power to handle the Internet, educational programs, interactive 3D games and productivity applications.
• Hyper pipelined technology doubles the pipeline depth to 20 stages, significantly increasing processor performance and frequency capability.
• A rapid execution engine pushes the processor's Arithmetic Logic Units to twice the core frequency resulting in higher execution throughput and reduced latency of execution.
• The 400MHz system bus, the improved Advanced Dynamic Execution, and an improved floating point pushes data efficiently through the pipeline for lifelike video and 3D graphics.
• Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) extends MMX and SSE technology, and with the addition of 144 new instructions, the Pentium 4 processor gives you the advanced technology to get the most out of today's and tomorrow's Internet experience.
• Optimized for the Intel NetBurst micro-architecture, the Intel 850 & 845 chipset contains numerous integrated circuits and lives at the core of your motherboard. The chipsets, together with the 400MHz system bus, give you the complete performance platform for awesome computing power.
• The 400MHz system bus is an advanced system that delivers three times the bandwidth of the Intel Pentium III processor system bus. This provides a 3.2 gigabyte transfer speed between the Pentium 4 processor and the memory controller and is the highest bandwidth desktop system bus 3available, delivering more responsive system performance.
