Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Celeron 2961Y is a processor that was once specifically developed for energy-efficient mobile devices. It is based on the Haswell U architecture, which was considered advanced at the time. This chip was manufactured using a then-modern 22-nm process. This significantly contributed to its low power consumption.

It was therefore ideal for slim notebooks and tablets.Integrated Intel HD Graphics (Haswell GT1) enabled a reliable display. This was perfectly adequate for everyday applications such as surfing or word processing. With 2 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor offered a solid basis. The maximum memory bandwidth was 13 GB/s.

This supported the smooth execution of basic tasks.We still know that this CPU was a reliable option. It delivered the necessary performance for simple computer use. Efficiency was always an important factor. This processor fulfilled its role very well in many devices. It helped to extend battery life.

This made the Intel Celeron 2961Y a practical companion for on the go.
