Intel Celeron Dual Core E1500 Processor BX80557E1500 - 2.20GHz, 512KB Cache, 800MHz FSB, Allendale, Dual-Core, Retail, Socket 775

Features Dual-Core Processing Two independent processor cores in one physical package run at the same frequency; 512 KB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus. Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously. 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. Newt pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These functions keep the pipeline full, improving instruction throughput and performance. Intel® Advanced Smart Cache The shared L2 cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, dual-core optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance. 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. Execute Disable Bit Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system. The Execute Disable Bit 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. This prevents the code from infecting the system. Intel® Designed Thermal Solution for Boxed Processors Intel boxed processors ship with a thermal solution specifically for this processor, designed for maximum thermal and acoustic performance.
