Description of the processor

The Intel Celeron N4020 is the ninth generation of Intel Celeron processors and was released by Intel in the fourth quarter of 2019. This processor is a model for the mobile sector, with which it is mainly installed in smaller entry-level notebooks and mini PCs. It is based on the BGA 1090 socket, so you can see that it can only be used when it is soldered.

It is based on the "Gemini Lake" architecture that is current in 2019 and is manufactured with a structure width of 10 nanometers. The level 3 cache of the Intel Celeron N4020 is 4.00 megabytes in size and the TDP is a very low 6 watts, which indicates a very economical but not very powerful CPU.

The processor has 2 physical cores and does not support Hyperthreading. The standard clock frequency of the Intel Celeron N4020 is 1.10 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is 2.80 gigahertz. However, the processor only achieves this high clock rate when one of the two cores is loaded. If both cores are loaded at the same time, the CPU still achieves a maximum clock frequency of 2.70 gigahertz.

The Intel Celeron N4020 achieves a single-core score of 486 points and a multi-core score of 896 points in Geekbench 5. It achieves 75 points (single-core) and 144 points (multi-core) in Cinebench R15.

As with all processors from the mobile sector, an internal graphics unit is built into the Intel Celeron N4020. The Intel UHD Graphics 600 is used here. This graphics unit has a standard clock of 0.2 gigahertz and a maximum dynamic clock frequency of 0.65 gigahertz. With its 12 execution units and 96 shaders, it achieves an FP32 (single precision) computing power of 125 GigaFLOPS.

The CPU has 2 memory channels with which up to 8 gigabytes of DDR4-2400 RAM can be operated.
