Note: The PL-Pro/II�s 370-pin CPU socket is not compatible
with Socket 7 or Super Socket 7 (although they have a similar
appearance).
About the Intel Celeron Processors
Intel�s Celeron processor extends the performance of Pentium Pro processors
with MMX and SSE technologies, a high-performance 128KB level-two cache,
and a 32KB level-one cache (consisting of separate 16KB instruction and 16KB
data caches). Because the Celeron�s 128KB cache is built into the processor die, it
runs at full processor speed (in other words, at 633MHz for a Celeron-633).
The Intel Celeron processors provide excellent performance for applications
running on advanced operating systems such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT,
Windows 2000, and Linux
.
For multimedia and communications applications, the
processors provide the capabilities of MMX media enhancement technology and
Intel�s Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE).
The Celeron processors also benefit
from the same P6 microarchitecture core as the Pentium� II and Pentium� III processors.
MMX
Technology
Intel�s MMX technology extends the performance of Pentium processors with 57
new instructions, a 32K level-one cache, four new 64-bit data types, and more. For
multimedia and communications applications, MMX can significantly enhance
audio/video playback and image processing. MMX technology is compatible with
a wide range of existing operating systems (including MS-DOS, Windows 95/98,
Windows NT (4.0 and up), Windows 2000, OS/2, and Linux) and 16/32-bit
applications.
