Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Celeron 3965Y was a very specific, yet practical CPU when it was released. Based on the Kaby Lake U architecture and manufactured using the 14nm process, this processor targeted energy-efficient and compact systems. It offered basic but reliable performance for everyday tasks.

We particularly appreciated its frugality in power consumption back then. This often enabled fanless designs or longer battery life in corresponding devices. Intel HD Graphics 615, integrated into the chip, reliably handled graphics output. It is still perfectly adequate for surfing the web, office applications or playing videos.

A system could always be built with this Celeron. Although it didn't break any records, it always did its job solidly. Its cost-effectiveness in particular made it an attractive choice for budget-oriented users or secondary devices. The built-in 2 MB Level 3 Cache supported the basic arithmetic operations.

The Intel Celeron 3965Y can still be found in some niche systems today, where its strengths are still in demand.
  • Energy-efficient Kaby Lake U architecture
