What the Celeron D 352 is

The Intel Celeron D 352 is a 3.2 GHz single-core value processor from May 2006. It runs one NetBurst core at 3.2 GHz with no Hyper-Threading, so 1 core gives 1 thread. Cache is 512 KB of L2 on a 65 nm process. Power is rated at 86 W on LGA 775 in C1 stepping, with a later D0 stepping at 65 W.

The 352 led the Cedar Mill Celeron line on a 533 MT/s bus with a 24x multiplier at about 79 dollars launch price. It exists because value buyers wanted a 3.2 GHz Celeron on cooler 65 nm silicon without paying for Pentium 4 cache or threads.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The 352 drops into LGA 775 boards with DDR2 memory and a BIOS that lists Cedar Mill Celeron parts, such as 945 boards. It pairs with value chipsets contemporary with Cedar Mill. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory is DDR2 through the board chipset in two channels.

A 533 MT/s front side bus ties the CPU to the chipset. PCIe or AGP slots hang off the chipset.

Cooling is any 86 W rated LGA 775 heatsink on the 72 mm mount.

Upgrade paths

On LGA 775 the upgrade is the Pentium 4 HT 631 at 3 GHz with 2 MB of cache and Hyper-Threading, or the Intel Pentium 4 HT 524 at 3.06 GHz for threads at a lower cost. Beyond LGA 775 a move to a newer platform needs a new board and memory.
