Base on the Cedar Mill core

At IDF last year, media and users found out from the Intel roadmap that the company was planning on releasing a new set of processors, the Cedar Mill, designed for desktop systems and engraved in the 65 nanometer technology.

Now, Intel is announcing that it will soon release the Celeron D, which is created after the Cedar Mill single-core solution and will also be engraved in a 65 nanometer technology. Like the existing 'Prescott'-based Celeron Ds, the new models will run on a 533MHz frontside bus and support 64-bit computing. The new Celerons will provide 512KB of L2 cache, double of the on in current Celeron D family members. Both the Celeron Cedar Mill and the Pentium 4 Cedar Mill are scheduled to be released in Q2 and they will be available in two versions: Celeron D 352 (3.2 GHz) and Celeron D 356 (3.33 GHz).

The Pentium 4 Cedar Mill is going to be available first, as P4 671 and will have a 3.8 GHz clock speed. The 671, like the already-launched other members of the 6x1 series, will provide Intel's Extended SpeedStep Technology (EIST), but not until Q2.
