Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Celeron 3205U is a processor that was once specifically designed for basic tasks in mobile devices. It is based on Intel's Kaby Lake U architecture. Its manufacturing in the then-advanced 14 nm process offered remarkable energy efficiency. This made it an excellent choice for notebooks where long battery life was crucial.

Another important feature is the integrated Intel HD Graphics (Broadwell GT1). From the start, this graphics unit enabled the smooth display of media content. Even everyday applications and simple browsing are still handled without any problems. Even years after its introduction, the processor delivers satisfactory performance for basic office work.

We often see how it breathes new life into older systems. With its 2 MB Level 3 cache, the CPU can efficiently store data. This noticeably contributes to the general system responsiveness. The Intel Celeron 3205U has always been a very cost-effective option. It offered price-conscious users a solid and reliable foundation.

Its main strength lay in providing basic functionality and high reliability.
  • Energy efficiency through 14 nm manufacturing
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics (Broadwell GT1)
