Overview
Intel Celeron processors (P.P.G.A.) 370
The Intel Celeron processors provide power to handle the internet, educational
programs, interactive 3D games, and productivity applications. The Intel Celeron
processors at 533, 500, 466, 433, 400, 366, 333 and 300A MHz include integrated L2
cache 128Kbyte. The core for the 533, 500, 466, 433, 400, 366, 333 and 300A MHz
processors have 19M transistors due to the addition of the integrated L2 cache
128Kbyte. All the Intel Celeron processors are available in the plastic pin grid array (P.
P.G.A.) form factor. The P.P.G.A. form factor is compatible with the 370 pin socket. All
the Intel Celeron processors are available in the plastic pin grid array (PPGA) package.
The PPGA package is compatible with the 370 pin socket and provides more flexibility
to design low cost systems by enabling lower profile and smaller systems and providing the potential for reducing costs of processor retention and cooling solutions. Like
the Intel Celeron processors that utilize S.E.P.P., the Intel Celeron processors that use
P.P.G.A., feature a P6-microarchitecture-based core processor on a single-sided substrate without BSRAM componentry.
The Intel Celeron processor at 533, 500, 466, 433, 400, 366, 333, and 300A MHz. Includes Intel MMX[tm] media enhancement technology. Offers Dynamic Execution
technology.
Includes a 32Kbyte (16Kbyte/16Kbyte) non-blocking, level-one cache that provides
fast access to heavily used data. Intel Celeron processors at 533, 500, 466, 433, 400,
366, 333 and 300A MHz include integrated L2 cache 128Kbyte. All the Intel Celeron
processor utilize the Intel P6 microarchitectures multi-transaction system bus at
66MHz. The 533, 500, 466, 433, 400, 366, 333 and 300A MHz processors utilize the Intel
P6 microarchitectures multi-transaction system bus with the addition of the L2 cache
interface. The combination of the L2 cache bus and the processor-to-main-memory
system bus increases bandwidth and performance over single-bus processors.
Intel MMX technology includes new instructions and data types that allow
applications to achieve a new level of performance. Intels MMX technology is
designed as a set of basic, general-purpose integer instructions that are easily
Page 1-2
IntroductionEP-3WEF2/3WDF2
applied to the needs of a wide diversity of multimedia and communications
applications. The highlights of the technology are:
* Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) technique
* 57 new instructions
* Eight 64-bit wide MMX technology registers
* Four new data types
Intel Coppermine pr ocessors (FC-PGA) 370
These Coppermine-128K and Coppermine-256K processor is the next addition to the
P6 micro architecture product family. The FC-PGA package is a new addition to the
Intel IA-32 processor line and hereafter will be referred to as the Coppermine FCPGA processor, or simply The processor. The package utilizes the same 370-pin
zero insertion force socket (PGA370) used by the Intel Celeron processor. Thermal
solutions are attached directly to the back of the processor core package without the
use of a thermal plate or heat spreader.
The Coppermine processor, like the Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium II and Pentium III in
the P6 family processor, implement a Dynamic Execution micro architecture --- a unique
combination of multiple branch prediction, data flow analysis, and speculative
execution. This enable these processors to deliver higher performance than the Intel
Pentium processor, while maintaining binary compatibility with all previous Intel Architecture processors. The processor also executes Intel MMX technology instructions for enhanced media and communication performance just as its predecessor the
Intel Pentium III processor. Additionally the Coppermine FC-PGA processor executes
streaming SIMD (Single-Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions for enhanced floating
point and 3-D application performance. The concept of processor identification, via
CPUID, is extended in the processor family with the addition of a processor serial
number. The processor utilizes multiple low-power states such as AutoHALT, StopGrant, Sleep and Deep Sleep to conserve power during idle times.
The processor includes an integrated on-die, 128KB or 256KB, 8-way set associative
level-two (L2) cache with a separated 16KB level one (L1) instruction cache and 16KB
level one (L1) data cache. These cache arrays run at the full speed of the processor
Page 1-3
IntroductionEP-3WEF2/3WDF2
core. As with the Intel Pentium III processor, the Coppermine FC-PGA processor has
a dedicated L2 cache bus, thus maintaining the dual independent bus architecture to
deliver high bus bandwidth and performance. Memory is cacheable for 4GB/64GB of
addressable memory space, allowing significant headroom for desktop system.
Intel(R) 810 Series chipset features
The Intel(R) 810 series chipset that Built on the strong foundation of Intel(R)
440BX AGPset technology, the Intel(R) 810 series chipset has re-engineered the
Value PC, providing next generation features and great graphics performance.
The 82810 series Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) features : Intel(R)
graphics technology and software drivers, using Direct AGP (integrated AGP) to
create vivid 2D and 3D effects and images. The 82810 series chip feature
integrated Hardware Motion Compensation to improve soft DVD video quality.
The Inte(R) 82810 series chipset use Intel(R) Dynamic Video Memory Technology (D.V.M.T.) is an architecture that offers breakthrough performance for the
(motherboard) PC through efficient memory utilization and Direct AGP. The system
OS uses the Intel software drivers and intelligent memory arbiter to support richer
graphics applications.
The 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH) employs the Intel(R) Accelerated Hub
Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics and memory to the
integrated AC97 controller, the IDE controllers (ATA/66 or ATA/33), dual USB
ports, and PCI add-in cards.
The Accelerated Hub Architecture provides twice the bandwidth of the PCI bus at
266 MB per second. This allows a wider flow of rich information from the I/O
controller to the memory controller, with optimized arbitration rules allowing more
functions to run concurrently, enabling more life-like audio and video.
The Integrated Audio-Codec 97 controller enables software audio and modem
(AMR Riser Optional) by using the processor to run sound and modem software.
By reusing existing system resources, this feature adds flexibility, improves sound
and modem quality.

IntroductionEP-3WEF2/3WDF2
The 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH, 4MB) stores system BIOS and video BIOS,
eliminating a redundant nonvolatile memory component. In addition, the 82802
contains a hardware Random Number Generator (RNG). The Intel(R) RNG
provides truly random numbers to enable fundamental security building blocks
supporting stronger encryption, digital signing, and security protocols for the
future application program .

IntroductionEP-3WEF2/3WDF2
EP-3WEF2/3WDF2 Form-Factor
The EP-3WEF2/3WDF2 is designed with FlexATX form factor - the new industry
standard of chassis. The FlexATX form factor of Maximum board size is 9.0
inches (229mm)*7.5 inches (191mm) for FlexATX addendum version 1.0. This
FlexATX addendum allows enhanced flexibility where conforming motherboards
may be enclosed; that is all-in-one computing devices, or standard desktop
systems. In fact, it does focus on delivering one method to implement some of
the features of an Ease of Use personal computer. To mount a FlexATX
motherboard in an ATX 2.03 - compliant chassis, two new mounting holes are
required in the chassis. The ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard
rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration
for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from
the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX
defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to
host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is
defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV
output, modem, LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators
differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.
Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.
I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.03 or later. The
Mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.03 (or later) compliant case.
A smaller power supply cam be used. High integration on mainboard reduces
the system costs.
