Intel Celeron J3455
Benchmarks & Specs

Intel Celeron processors are popular wherever low power consumption is important, but the processors performance is rather secondary. Thus, the Intel Celeron J3455 is used in various ready-to-use NAS systems, such as Synology DiskStations or QNAP Turbo Stations. The processor is also installed in some mini PCs, such as the Intel NUC6CAYH or ASRocks Beebox J3455.

The Intel Celeron J3455 is a quad-core processor that clocks with 1.50 GHz. In turbo mode, which turns on when the 1.50 Gigahertz performance reaches its limit, the clock increases to 2.30 Gigahertz (when a single core is utilized) or 2.20 Gigahertz (when all 4 cores are utilized).

The internal graphics unit with the name "Intel HD Graphics 500" isnt very powerful with its 12 execution units, but it doesnt have to be for its intended use. It is important that the GPU, which clocks with 0.25 Gigahertz (base clock) or 0.75 Gigahertz (turbo mode), is frugal, but can decode all important video codecs in hardware. This in fact makes the above mentioned mini PCs an ideal media player. The Beebox J3455 even has a small remote control in the scope of delivery, with which the device can be used as a stand-alone media player including startup and shutdown via a "LibreELEC" installation.

LPDDR3/DDR3L modules with up to 1866 megahertz, as well as LPDDR4 modules with up to 2400 megahertz are supported as working memory. However, most devices actually use DDR3L working memory with 1866 megahertz.

The Intel Celeron J3455 is based on Intels "Apollo Lake" architecture and is manufactured in the 14 nanometer process. It was released in the third quarter of 2016.
