Intel Celeron N4000 Lower-End Laptop Processor: Review & Specs

Intel Celeron N4000 Lower-End Laptop Processor: Review & Specs. The Intel Celeron N4000 is a lower-end processor you can find in affordable laptop PCs. As a basic CPU, it has only two cores with a single computing thread per core. On the positive side, the Celeron N4000 has a decently high maximum clock speed of 2.6 GHz, an unusually large 4 MB cache for the budget processor category (as opposed to more common 1 MB or 2 MB), and a power-efficient design with a power consumption of 6 Watts. Thanks to its good thermal characteristics the N4000 enables fully fan-less and totally quiet designs of notebooks with it.

Intel Celeron N4000 Benchmark

The Intel Celeron N4000 benchmark results indicate the chip is among slower notebook CPUs. It is a decent solution for non-demanding day-to-day tasks. It’s suitable for light web browsing with a couple of browser tabs opened simultaneously, work in Microsoft Office programs, movie watching, or web conferencing. For heavier duties like video editing, notebooks with mid-range and high-end CPUs like the Intel Core i-series are recommended. These aren’t as cheap as the Celeron N4000-equipped laptops and they must use cooling fans.

The Intel UHD 600 graphics which is embedded in the N4000 is a very basic graphics processor. Laptops with the Celeron N4000/ UHD 600 can run only the most basic PC games.

Note: Performance and benchmark scores of the Intel Celeron N4000 may vary depending on the notebook’s other components, settings, cooling, and other factors. Benchmark results are good indicators of its performance in comparison to other chips.
