For the first time, Intel is is shipping a low-end desktop processor with two cores. That is a dual-core Celeron, ladies and gentlemen, and that could be one of the biggest news of the year for everyone who uses an Intel microprocessor.

The 1.6GHz Celeron Dual-Core E1200 processor is based on Intel’s Core microprocessor architecture and is manufactured using a 65-nanometer process. The chip has 512K bytes of cache and uses an 800MHz front-side bus to connect with main memory and other components inside the PC. It is quite a mouthful and it could also be just the beginning for the company.

It should be noted that the Celeron is the low-end product in the stable of processors in Intel. With this development, each of the products has multi-core versions.
