Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Celeron N2840 was a processor designed for basic computing tasks. This chip, based on the Bay Trail architecture, was manufactured using the 22 nm process. A significant advantage is its pronounced energy efficiency, which was important for long battery life. It was therefore ideally suited for slim notebooks or fanless mini-PCs.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail GT1) takes care of the image output. This graphics solution is completely sufficient for simple media playback and everyday office activities. For surfing the net or word processing, it always offers sufficient performance. The 1 MB Level 3 Cache supports the overall performance.

Even today, this processor can still be found in some older systems. There, it reliably performs its services for light applications. We were amazed at how well it is still suitable for simple everyday tasks. This Celeron offered a cost-effective solution for many users at the time.
