Celeron G460 has 1.5 MB of L3 cache and operates at 1800 MHz. Intel is making the Celeron G460 on a 32 nm production node using 504 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Celeron G460, which limits its overclocking potential. With a TDP of 35 W, the Celeron G460 consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the computer, Celeron G460 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD (Sandy Bridge) integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the Celeron G460, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
