Intel Celeron Processor 440

The Intel Celeron processor 440 balances proven technology with exceptional value for embedded computing designs such as print imaging, gaming, interactive clients, and industrial automation. Featuring Intel Intelligent Power Capability, it supports smaller, quieter, more energy-efficient embedded systems with improved performance over previous Intel Celeron processors.

Manufactured on 65nm process technology, the Intel Celeron processor 440 at 2.0 GHz offers 512 KB of L2 cache with a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 watts. Based on a new energy-efficient microarchitecture, this Celeron processor enables smaller and quieter embedded designs. It features Execute Disable Bit (for built-in security support) as well as Intel 64 architecture (Intel 64), enabling applications to access larger amounts of memory when used with appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software.

The Intel Celeron processor 440 is available in an LGA-775 package with integrated heat spreader. When combined with the Intel Q45 Express Chipset, Intel Q35 Express Chipset, Intel Q965 Express Chipset or Intel 3210 Chipset, the platform provides exceptional value with mid-range performance and reduced power.
Product information

Features and benefits

800 MHz front-side bus Provides accelerated access to data from the processor core.
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.

Intel Smart Memory Access

Optimizes use of data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution, keeping the pipeline full while improving instruction throughput and performance. Newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-flight instructions must wait for data. Pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution.

Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost

Accelerates execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/2/3) instructions to significantly improve media boost performance on a broad range of applications. 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one/clock cycle, effectively doubling speed of execution over previous-generation processors.
Execute Disable Bit° Enhances virus protection when deployed with supported operating system. Allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable, allowing the processor to raise an error to the operating system, thereby preventing malicious code from infecting the system.

Intel 64 Architecture (Intel 64) Enables access to larger amounts of memory and provides flexibility for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. With appropriate supporting hardware and software, platforms supporting 64-bit computing can use extended virtual and physical memory.

Intel Precessor With Heat Sink

A processor number:

• Represents a broad set of features that can influence overall computing experience
• Differentiates the relative features within a processor brand family (e.g. within the Intel® Core™2 processor family or within the Intel® Xeon® processor family)
• The processor number is not a measurement of performance considered when choosing the right processor for you.

Edition of The IDF Processor

While the previous edition of the IDF had been particularly rich in terms of ads around the processor and Atom MID (Mobile Internet Device) or Netbooks that accompany it, the vintage of this August reserve a place smaller to this new platform. Anand Chandrasekher, one of the fathers of mobility at Intel.

Intel silicon Processor LCD

As for the future of Atom, the person has of course referred to the new platform Moorestown without giving more details. A Wafer of Moorestown was still exhibited before qu'Anand Chandrasekher gives us an appointment next spring to learn more about this new platform that would enable Intel to bring its solution Atom in mobile phones, if everything is fine.
And since there was definitely nothing to announce, we video was projected to show us a concept phone tactile, largely inspired by the iPhone but animated by an Intel processor and offering functions geolocation or reading code bar. Finally Anand Chandrasekher gave a demonstration of an Intel MID Atom running the famous game World of Warcraft, the MID is connected to an LCD screen.

AMD's Six Core CPUs are running

Unlike Intel three-dual-core 220 watt monsters, AMD's are real six-core chips with HT3 consuming 95 watts. Intel will play copycat for the next 20 years...

My guess is that the HT3 cache coherence technology may indeed carry some hidden tricks, maybe something borrowed from the Horus chipset.
