Processors supported by the BP6 in SMP configuration were the PPGA Socket 370 Celeron processors (300-533 MHz).
In January 2010, the Clarkdale and Arrandale processors (based on the 32 nm Westmere shrink of the Nehalem microarchitecture) were released with Ironlake HD Graphics (GMA 5700MHD), and branded as Celeron, Pentium, or Core with HD Graphics.
Socket 370 (also known as the PGA370 socket) is a common format of CPU socket first used by Intel for Pentium III and Celeron processors to replace the older Slot 1 CPU interface on personal computers.
