The Intel Celeron 2.70 was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in September 2003. It is part of the Celeron lineup, using the Northwood architecture with Socket 478. Celeron 2.70 has 128 KB of L2 cache and operates at 2.7 GHz. Intel is making the Celeron 2.70 on a 130 nm production node using 55 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Celeron 2.70, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 73 W, the Celeron 2.70 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR1 and DDR2 memory. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
Neither SSE3 nor SSE4 instruction sets are supported, which will lead to problems with games not starting.
