Intel Celeron D 420 1.60GHz 800MHz FSB 512KB Cache Socket 775

Proven Technology, Exceptional Value
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.

Systems based on the Celeron processor 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® 64 architecture, so you can access larger amounts of memory when used with appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software. A faster Front Side Bus accelerates access between the processor core and your data for an enhanced computing experience.

When combined with an Intel® Express Chipset-based board, this platform provides a balanced entry level desktop PC. Enjoy integrated Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) for exceptional audio quality, and Intel® Graphics Media Acceleration (Intel® GMA) which delivers a smooth visual experience. Enter the colorful world of e-learning and digital photography, or perform business activities like data entry, inventory management, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and e-mail.

Features

• Single-Core Processing
  New microarchitecture with 800 MHz FSB enhances your computing experience.
• Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
  Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
• Intel® Smart Memory Access
  Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution. A newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-flight instructions have to wait for data. New pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into the fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These functions keep the pipeline full, improving instruction throughput and performance.
• Intel® 64 Architecture
  Allows the desktop processor platform to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64 bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting 64-bit computing can use extended virtual and physical memory. Intel 64 provides flexibility for 32-bit and 64-bit computing.
• Execute Disable Bit
  Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system. Allows memory to be marked as executable or non executable, allowing the processor to raise an error to the operating system if malicious code attempts to run in non-executable memory, thereby preventing the code from infecting the system.
• Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost
  Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to significantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including video, audio, image and photo processing, multimedia, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are now issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle effectively doubling their speed of execution on a per clock basis over previous generation processors.
