Just like this Celeron D but one multiplier, or otherwise said, 133MHz slower. > Read more

The Celeron D is, in my humble opinion, the best 'Netburst'-based Celeron out there. Not that this one is very powerful (compare it with the Pentium 4 520 and Pentium D 920, they run at 2.8GHz too) but the 256KB L2 cache seems to work out quite well. Even for the 'Prescott' with it's long 31 stage pipeline.

The older Celeron's on socket 478 only have 128KB L2 cache and they are slow. Really slow. In gaming an AMD Duron 1600MHz is just about as fast as an Intel Celeron 'C' 2.66GHz! That's a whopping one GHz difference and guess what, the Duron is AMD's low budget CPU with only 64KB L2 cache! This Celeron D does it's job a lot better . > Read more

The latest revision of 'Prescott'-cores! The first 'Prescott' core was known to be very hot and thus consume a lot of energy. As time passed by Intel managed to enhance their production facilities and get a better chip. The result? The E0-stepping of the 'Prescott' was claimed to be 20% cooler! Quite a lot if I may say so.

This 'Engineering Sample' uses a multiplier of 25x and is downwards unlocked. This allows me to simulate nearly every Celeron D 'Prescott' Intel ever made. Only the D 360 (with MP 26x) is out of range .

If I remember correctly this CPU ran at 3,8GHz with ease and did somewhere around 4,1GHz using watercooling. Comparing to my old Intel Pentium 4 2,8GHz 'QJ23ES' this is quite a disappointing result. The old 'Prescott' reached 3,7GHz, though it was very unstable. > Read more
