Intel Celeron Coppermine Processor

ĮVADAS

With an advanced microarchitecture and core frequency of 2.0 GHz and 2.5 GHz, the Intel Celeron processor is ideal for scalable Intel performance embedded computing, including communications, transaction terminal, and industrial automation applications. While incorporating new features and improvements, it remains software compatible with previous members of the Intel microprocessor family.

Intel@ Celeron@ M processors on 90nm process technology are available in both standard and ultra-low-voltage versions, providing a range of performance, value, and power options for a variety of thermally sensitive embedded and communications applications. These processors offer ideal solutions for small-to-medium businesses and enterprise communications applications, storage appliances, and embedded devices like point-of-sale kiosks and ATMs. In addition, they are software-compatible with previous members of the Intel@ microprocessor family. The new Intel@ Celeron@ processor delivers a balanced level of proven technology and exceptional value for desktop PCs. Based on a new energy- efficient microarchitecture, this Celeron processor enables smaller, quieter, and more capable desktop PCs.

A BRIEF CELERON HISTORY

The original Celerons were economy versions of the Intel Pentium II processor. Intel figured that by taking a Pentium II and deleting the separate L2 cache chips mounted inside the cartridge (and also deleting the cosmetic cover), it could create a “new” processor that was basically just a slower version of the Pentium II. As such, the first 266MHz and 300MHz Celeron didn’t include any L2 cache. Unfortunately, this proved to have far too great a crippling effect on performance, so starting with the 300A versions, the Celeron received 128KB of on-die full-speed L2 cache, which was actually faster and more advanced than the 512KB of half-speed cache used in the Pentium II, which it was based on! In fact, the Celeron was the first PC processor to receive on-die L2 cache. It wasn’t until the Coppermine version of the Pentium III appeared that on-die L2 cache migrated to Intel’s main processors.

The earliest Celerons from 266MHz up through 400MHz were produced in a SEPP design that physically looked like a circuit board and that was designed to fit into Slot 1. This is the same slot the Pentium II used, meaning the Celeron SEPP plugged into any Pentium II Slot-I motherboard. As the Celeron continued to develop, the form factor was changed to with changes in the Pentium 11-, Ill-, and 4-class processors from which it was adapted. Starting with the 300A processor (300MHz Celeron with 128KB of on-die Level 2 cache), Celerons were produced in a PPGA package using the Socket 370 interface. This socket, with differences in voltage, was later used for most versions of the Pentium III. Celerons using the 370 range in speed from 300MHz all the way up to 1.4GHz. Along the way, the packaging changed from PPGA to FC-PGA and FC-PGA2. The latter added a metal heat spreader on top of the die, offering better protection for the fragile die. Celeron processors based on the Pentium 4 are produced in one of two packaged designs.

Some use the FC-PGA2 package that fits into the same Socket 478 used by most Pentium 4 processors. However, the Celeron D is available in both the Socket 478 package and Socket T (LGA775) package used by the Prescott core version of the Pentium 4. The Celeron was never produced in the short-lived Socket 423 form factor that the original Pentium 4 processors used. As this very brief history shows, the name Celerm has never meant anything more specific than a reduced-performance version of Intel’s current mainstream processor. Before you can decide whether a particular Celeron præessor is a suitable choice, you need to know what its features are and especially on which processor it is based. At least eight discrete variations of the Celeron processor exist.

ABOUT CELERON

Highlights of the Celeron include the following:

• L2 cache supports up to 4GB RAM address range and ECC
• Uses the same P6 core processor as the Pentium I (266MHz through 533MHz), the Pentium III (533A MHz and higher), and the Pentium 4 (1.7GHz and higher)
• Dynamic execution microarchitecture
• Operates on a 66MHz, 100MHz, 400MHz, or 533MHz CPU bus depending on the version

INTEL CELERON PROCESSOR FAMILY

Intel Celeron family is a line of budget x86 processors based on Pentium designs. Originally based on Intel Pentium II architecture, the Celeron processors migrated over time to Pentium III and Pentium 4 architectures. Priced lower than their Pentium (like dual processing or multiprocessing). The Celerons are also slower than similar-clocked Pentiums due to a smaller L2 cache size and sometimes a slower bus speed. Celeron CPUs are usually packaged the same way as Pentium II/1II/4 processors and can be used in motherboards designed for Pentium 11/1II/4processors.

Desktop Celeron (SEPP)
Intel Celeron 266266 MHz No L2 cache Single Edge Processor package (slot 1)

Celeron 266, based on the Covington core, was the first processor from Celeron series. While this processor had poor performance due to a lack of L2 cache, it was very popular because of its low price and very high overclockability. The CPU had a very good price/performance ratio. Many Celerons 266 could be easily overclocked to 400 MHz by changing the bus frequency from 66 MHz to 100 MHz. Even if the microprocessor wasn’t running stably at 400 MHz, it was still possible to run it at 333 MHz by changing the bus frequency to 83 MHz.

Desktop Celeron (PPGA)
Intel Celeron 366 – FV80524RX366128 (FV524RX366 128)All Intel Celeron proæssors in PPGA package were based on Mendæino core. Mendocino was the first Intel x86 core that integrated level 2 cache with the (Pentium Pro had level 2 cache on a separate die, and Pentium II præessors used external cache chips). The core had only 128 KB of level 2 cache, but a smaller cache size was partially compensated by faster cache – it was running twice as fast as the Pentium II level 2 cache. The Mendocino AJR didn’t require external cache chips; it could fit on a smaller and cheaper Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA) package. To work with the Celeron PPGA package, Intel designed a new 370-pin – 370, or PGA370.

Coppermine Desktop Celeron (370-pin FCPGA)
Intel Celeron 950 – RB80526RY950128 (BX80526F950128). The second generation of socket 370-compatible Celeron processors was based on the Coppermine core. Like the Mendæino oore, the core had level 2 cache integrated on the die. The size of level 2 cache didn’t change from older PPGA Celerons – it was 128 KB, or half the size of the L2 cache of Pentium III Coppermine proæssors. The cache itself was improved – it featured a 256-bit wide path to the cache and had lower latency than the cache of PPGA præessors. Another enhancement in Coppermne Celerons was the addition ot SSE instructions, which could significantly boost processor performance in SSE-enabled applications. Core voltage of the Coppermine processors was reduced from 2.0 volts to 1.5 – 1.75 volts, which resulted in lower power consumption and cooler running

A new package type of these Celerons, with the processor die exposed on the top of the chip, also allowed better cooling. Coppermine processor Celeron microprocessors required a revised socket 370 – this socket was mechanically, but not electrically compatible with PPGA Socket 370, which made all Coppermine CPUs incompatible with many old Socket 370motherboards.

Tualatin Desktop Celeron (370-pin FCPGA2)
Intel Celeron 1400 – RK80530RY017256 (BX80530F1400256) The last generation of Socket 370 Celeron processors featured Tualatin core with 256 KB level 2 cache, often called as Tualatin-256. Having twiæ as much cache as Coppermine Celerons, these microprocessors performed as fast as Pentium III Coppermine processors running at the same Front Side Bus frequency (100 MHz). Besides a larger level 2 cache, the Celerons also had lower core voltage and power consumption. The package of these proæssors was modified.

It still used Flip-Chip packaging technology, where the processor die was mounted upside down on the top of the plastic package, but on Tualatin Celerons, the die was covered by an integrated heatsink. Like the Pentium III Tualatin CPUs, the Celerons used a new bus interface, and, though the Celerons fit into older socket 370 motherboards, the processors couldn’t work in them. It was still possible to use special Tualatin socket 370 adapters to run Tualatin Celeron processors in old motherboards.

Desktop Celeron Willamette

Intel Celeron – RK80531RC025128 Intel Celeron Willamette prcæssors were the first Celerons based on NetBurst micro-architecture. Willamette Celeron CPUs featured a 400 MHz Front-Side Bus, a long 20-stage pipeline, SSE2 instructions, and enhanced branch prediction. These Celeron processors were using 0.18 micron technology and had the same voltage as Pentium 4 Willamette processors. Level 2 cache size on the Celeron microprocessors was twice smaller than on Pentium 4, which resulted in about 10% lower performance of Celeron processors. Smaller L2 cache was the only difference of these CPUs from Pentium 4 præessors with the same

Desktop Celeron Northwood

Intel Celeron 2100 – RK80532RC045128 (BX80532RC2100B). The next generation of Celeron-branded microprocessors was based on the Pentium 4 Northwood core. These Celerons were produced on 0.13 micron technology, and had almost the same microarchitecture as Pentium 4 Northwood micropræessors with a few exceptions. Even though the size of the L2 cache was doubled on Pentium 4 Northwood processors, Northwood Celerons had the same 128 KB L2 cache as their predecessors – Willamette Celeron. The front-side bus frequency of Celeron processors was also unchanged. Celeron microproæssors didnt include Hyper-Threading technology that was present on all Pentium 4 Northwood CPUs with 800 MHz FSB. On the plus side, the Northwood Celerons had lower core voltage than their Willamette processors; as a result, Northwood processors ran. The Celeron CPUs were packaged in a 478-pin FC-PGA2 package with an integrated heatsink and required socket 478 motherboards.

Desktop Celeron Conroe-L 
Celeron 400 series family was the first family of low-cost desktop CPUs based on the Core micro-architecture. The 400 series processors include basic features of the Core microarchitecture – 64-bit processing, Execute Disable bit, enhanced branch prediction, support for SSE3 and Supplemental SSE3, quad-pumped Front-side Bus, and others. As usual for all budget processors, these Celerons do not include as many features or have inferior features compared to desktop high-performance CPUs. The Celeron 400 series includes only a single CPIJ core, a small 512 KB level 2 cache, and does not have Enhanced SpeedStep technology.

Mobile Celeron Mendocino
Intel Mobile Celeron 433 – KC80524KX433128 Mobile Celeron microprocessors with Mendocino core share many features with desktop Mendocino CPUS. All Mendocino Celerons are based on P6 micro- have 32 KB level I cache, integrate 128 KB level 2 cache running at the CPU speed, and, like almost all other P6 CPUs, support MMX instructions. Mobile Celerons have much lower consumption than desktop Mendocino processors, partly due to lower core voltage and partly due to two new power-saving features – Quick Start and Deep Sleep. The Mobile Mendocino CPUs are packaged into 615-pin micro-PGA or 615-ball BGA packages – these packages are much smaller than a 370-pin PPGA package of a desktop

Mobile Celeron Coppermine-T
Mobile Coppermine-T microprocessors combine features from two different Celeron cores: Coppermine and Tutalatin. Like Coppermine processors, the Coppermine-T CPUs are manufactured using 0.18 micron technology, have the same size and of Ll and L2 caches, similar CPU features, and approximately the same core voltage and power consumption. Unlike the Coppermine core, the Coppermine-T core uses a newer low-power AGTL system bus and can work in motherboards designed for Tualatin processors. Bus frequency of Coppermine-T Celerons was increased from 100 MHz to 133 MHz, and two low-wait modes – Stop Grant and Sleep – were removed. The Coppermine-T processors were packaged in 478-pin micro-FCPGA and 479-ball micro-FCBGA packages, which is the same packages as mobile Tualation CPUs.

CONCLUTION

The Celeron was introduced in response to Intel’s loss of the low-end market, in particular to Cyrix’s 6×86, AMD’s K6, and IDT Winchip. Intel’S existing low-end product, the Pentium MMX, was not performance competitive at 233 MHz. Although a faster Pentium MMX would have been a lower-risk strategy, the industry standard Socket 7 platform hosted a market of competitor CPUs that could be drop-in replacements for the Pentium MMX. Instead, Intel pursued a budget part that was pin-compatible with their high-end Pentium II, using the Pentium II’s (Slot I) interface. The Celeron was used in many low-end machines and, in some ways, became the standard for non-gaming computers.

Systems based on the Celeron præessor are ideal for day-to-day computing, whether in the home, classroom, or office. The Execute Disable Bit, a built-in security feature, helps protect your programs and files from viruses, worms, and other malicious attacks. The Celeron processor also includes Intel 642 architecture, so you can access larger amounts of memory when used with appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware, and A faster Front Side Bus  accelerates access between the CPU and your data for enhanced computing
