Intel Corp. reportedly plans to improve its family of entry-level Intel Celeron D central processing units (CPUs) by the end of the Q2 2005, according to a report by a web-site. The new chips with improved specs are expected to be made using cost-effective 65nm process technology.

Mainboard makers familiar with plans of Intel Corp. revealed, according to DigiTimes web-site, that the world’s largest maker of chips plans to release at least two value processors made using 65nm process technology: Intel Celeron D 352 and Intel Celeron D 356 that will operate at 3.20GHz and 3.33GHz respectively, will incorporate 512KB of L2 cache and will feature 64-bit capability, like predecessors. Current Intel Celeron D chips integrate 256KB of L2 cache and operate using 533MHz processor system bus.

The new Intel Celeron D processors will be based on the core known as Cedar Mill, which is originally designed for Intel Pentium 4 processors running at various speeds and supporting 2MB of cache, 800MHz or 1066MHz processor system bus, EM64T, EDB and virtualization capabilities.

The main advantage of 65nm process technology is lower manufacturing cost, something which may allow Intel to reduce pricing on Intel Celeron D and Intel Pentium 4 processors more aggressively while pushing the speeds of the mentioned products up. Potentially, low-cost Intel Celeron D chips pose threat to sales of AMD Sempron processors.

That’s impossible! Because new celeron will be based on the 2MB version P4, which have a bigger die. Going to .65 will not help.

I would prefer to see the single core P4 going to celeron and keep the dual as P4.

Wow, a Deleron with a 512 kb L2 cache! Finally, something to compete AMD's high-end semprons. Only problem is that the sucker is already sitting at 3.2 and 3.33 ghz, meaning it'll be damn-near impossible to run 'em on the 800 fsb. No socket 478 support either (suppose that's asking too much). This will be a winner as long as Iintel keeps the costs competitive. Hopefully Intel will release lower-clocked box sets that will be more applicable to oc'ing. The new core should be good for 4.5 ghz...
