CPU Model Numbers and Pricing
A little more than a month ago, we brought you an update on Intel's roadmaps that included the new Celeron D processors and their model numbers. Aside from a nice handy guide to how Celeron D stacks up to the Northwood Celeron, we can fill in pricing information on the new processors.| Intel Celeron Processors | ||||||
| CPU Name | Clock Speed | L1 Cache Size | L2 Cache Size | FSB Speed | Fab Process | Est. Price |
| Celeron D 335 | 2.8GHz | 16KB | 256KB | 533MHz | 90nm | $117 |
| Celeron D 330 | 2.66GHz | 16KB | 256KB | 533MHz | 90nm | $89 |
| Celeron D 325 | 2.53GHz | 16KB | 256KB | 533MHz | 90nm | $79 |
| Celeron 2.6GHz | 2.6GHz | 8KB | 128KB | 400MHz | 130nm | $91 |
| Celeron 2.0GHz | 2.0GHz | 8KB | 128KB | 400MHz | 130nm | $65 |
And just to make sure we've got all the useful info in one neat little package, we'll include our Celeron D core enhancement list from the previous page as well.
- 90nm Strained Silicon Process - more, faster transistors in less space
- 31 Pipeline Stages - for clock speed ramping
- Improved Branch Predictor - helps avoid pipeline stall
- Improved Scheduler - helps avoid doing unnecessary work
- Improved Execution Core - added integer multiply and fast shift to ALU
- Larger, Slower Caches - higher latency caches for speed and size scaling
- SSE3 - 13 new instructions

I'd be very interested to see overclocked performance between the 335 and Mobile 2600+MAME - Thursday, June 24, 2004 - link
HAHAHHA! It's backkkkkkkkkkkk!MAME - Thursday, June 24, 2004 - link
FYI: Later pages don't load.I wonder what the price of these Celerons will be. I have a feeling AMD will still corner the budget market, even without the Sempron's anyway.

Intel hired marketing firm Lexicon Branding, which had originally come up with the name Pentium, to devise a name for the new product as well. The San Jose Mercury News described Lexicon's reasoning behind the name they chose: Celer is Latin for swift. As in accelerate. And on. As in turned on. Celeron is seven letters and three syllables, like Pentium. The Cel of Celeron rhymes with tel of Intel.
