The Intel Celeron E3400 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in January 2010. It is part of the Celeron lineup, using the Wolfdale architecture with Socket 775. Celeron E3400 has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.6 GHz. Intel is making the Celeron E3400 on a 45 nm production node using 228 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Celeron E3400, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Celeron E3400 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the computer, Celeron E3400 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability. Hardware virtualization is available on the Celeron E3400, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
