Intel accepts no liability for results if customer chooses at its discretion to implement these methods within its business operations. Intel makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of the information provided. The Intel® Celeron® processor 400 series may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request. ∆Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. Over time processor numbers will increment based on changes in clock, speed, cache, FSB, or other features, and increments are not intended to represent proportional or quantitative increases in any particular feature. Current roadmap processor number progression is not necessarily representative of future roadmaps. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.
