"
Intel Celeron 2.4" refers to the clock speed of certain Intel Celeron processors. Examples are the desktop PC processor E1600; the Intel Celeron D 320; and the 2.4 version of the Mobile Celeron, used for mobile electronic devices.
"2.4"
The "2.4" number is a reference to the Intel Celeron's clock speed, which is measured at 2.4 gigahertz, or GHz. The clock speed is the rate at which the CPU performs its processing duties.
Other Features
Using a 64-bit instruction set, the Intel Celeron E1600 has a front-side bus speed--the rate at which it connects with the northbridge of the computer's motherboard--of 800 megahertz, or MHz. The 32-bit Celeron D 320 and 2.4-GHz Mobile Celeron have FSB speeds of 533 MHz and 400 MHz, respectively. While the L2 cache (secondary memory bank) of the E1600 is 512 kilobytes, or KB, that of the Celeron D 320 and 2.4-GHz Celeron is half that amount--at 256 KB.
Manufacture
While the Intel Celeron E1600 is a dual-core processor, which means that it has two processing units, the Intel Celeron D and 2.4-GHz Mobile Intel Celeron are single-core CPUs. This makes the E1600 twice as powerful as its two aforementioned siblings.
