The Intel Celeron E1500 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in November 2008. It is part of the Celeron lineup, using the Allendale architecture with Socket 775. Celeron E1500 has 512 KB of L2 cache and operates at 2.2 GHz. Intel is making the Celeron E1500 on a 65 nm production node using 105 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Celeron E1500, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Celeron E1500 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 system, Celeron E1500 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.
