Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Celeron E3300 was once an extremely popular entry-level model. It provided a solid and reliable foundation for everyday computing tasks in countless homes and offices. This processor was manufactured using the efficient 45-nanometer process and was based on the proven Wolfdale architecture.

This made it a particularly cost-effective choice for users who were looking for a functional system. We often saw it back then in computers for basic activities such as word processing, email communication, and simple internet browsing. Its integrated 1 MB Level-2 cache helped to ensure adequate performance for these applications.

Also, its maximum memory bandwidth of 17 GB/s was appropriate for its class. The Celeron E3300 was never designed for highly complex calculations or graphics-intensive applications. But for its price, it offered a truly compelling solution. It fulfilled its task as an affordable work processor with flying colors.

Even today, this processor is occasionally encountered in older systems. There, it reliably performs its service for very uncomplicated applications without being overwhelming.
  • Cost-effective solution for entry-level systems
  • Reliable for everyday office and internet tasks
  • Based on the efficient Wolfdale architecture (45 nm)
  • Features 1 MB Level-2 Cache
