The Reviewed CPUs
Contents
To have an idea of the Celeron N3150’s performance, we ran some benchmarks comparing it to other two similar CPUs (also with four cores, low cost, and low TDP), the AMD Athlon 5150 and the Intel Pentium J2900.
In the tables below, we compare the main features of the CPUs included in our review.
CPU | Cores | HT | IGP | Internal Clock | Turbo Clock | Core | Tech. | TDP | Socket | Price |
Celeron N3150 | 4 | No | Yes | 1.6 GHz | 2.08 GHz | Braswell | 14 nm | 6 W | FCBGA1170 | USD 70* |
Pentium J2900 | 4 | No | Yes | 2.41 GHz | 2.67 GHz | Bay Trail-D | 22 nm | 10 W | FCBGA1170 | USD 104* |
Athlon 5150 | 4 | No | Yes | 1.6 GHz | No | Kabini | 28 nm | 25 W | AM1 | USD 50** |
* The price includes the motherboard, since this CPU is soldered to the motherboard
** Motherboards can be found starting at USD 30
Prices were researched at Newegg.com on the day we published this review. TDP stands for Thermal Design Power and states the maximum amount of heat the CPU can dissipate.
Below you can see the memory configuration for each CPU.
CPU | L2 Cache | L3 Cache | Memory Support | Memory Channels |
Celeron N3150 | 2 MiB | No | Up to DDR3L-1600 | Two |
Pentium J2900 | 2 MiB | No | Up to DDR3-1333 | Two |
Athlon 5150 | 2 MiB | No | Up to DDR3-1600 | One |
Below we have a quick comparison of the video engine of the CPUs.
CPU | Video Engine | DirectX | Clock | Cores |
