HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The Pentium™ II & Celeron™ Processor
The Pentium II and Celeron processor is the next member of the P6 processor family. It
combines the architectural advances in the Pentium Pro processor with the instruction set
extensions of MMX technology. It is fully compatible with the huge base of Intel architec-
ture-based PC software. Additional, the Pentium II processor delivers new levels of perfor-
mance for advance media and communications software including powerful, realistic
graphics and imaging capabilities, video conference, and the ability to run full-screen, full-
motion video. The combination of these advanced technologies makes the Pentium II
processor the ideal choice foe executing modem 32-bit compute-intensive and multimedia-
enhanced application work loads using advanced 32-bit operating systems.
The Pentium II and Celeron processor both have a separate, 32KB, on-chip, non-blocking L1
cache which run at the processor frequency, Pentium II processor also has a 512KB or
256KB on-board L2 non-blocking cache runs at half the processor speed.
The Pentium II processor using Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) cartridge packaging technol-
ogy which enables high volume availability, improved handling protection.
The Celeron processor using Single Edge Processor Package. ( S.E.P.P.)
Figure 2-1 shows the front, rear and top views of Pentium II processor (without heat sink
mounted).
Figure 2-2 shows the primary and non-primary side of Celeron processor without heat sink
mounted and with heat sink mounted.
