family desktop, and Intel
®
 Celeron
®
 processor family desktop are the next generation 
of 64-bit, multi-core desktop processor built on 32- nanometer process technology. 
Based on a new micro-architecture, the processor is designed for a two-chip platform 
consisting of a processor and Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The platform enables 
higher performance, lower cost, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The 
processor includes an Integrated Display Engine, Processor Graphics, PCI Express* 
ports, and Integrated Memory Controller. The processor is designed for desktop 
platforms. It supports up to 12 Processor Graphics execution units (EUs). The 
processor is offered in an 1155-land LGA package.
