Intel Celeron N3450 Review

Launched September 2016, the Intel Celeron N3450 is a low-end 4-core, 4-thread processor built on Apollo Lake, running a 1.1 GHz base clock that boosts to 2.2 GHz within a 6 Watt TDP.

As an older-generation entry-level chip predating the later Gemini Lake Celeron N4000/N4120, this processor still commonly appears in the most budget-focused Chromebooks and basic Windows laptops.

Intel HD Graphics 500

A basic integrated GPU appropriate for basic display output and light web browsing, with no realistic gaming capability.

How Is the Celeron N3450 in Terms of Performance

With 4 cores at a modest clock ceiling and a genuinely minimal 6W power budget, this chip is built for the most basic tasks: web browsing, document viewing, and video playback, positioned similarly to the later Gemini Lake N4000/N4120 chips it predates.

Benchmarks

Geekbench 4.1 multi-core scores of 1,419 and single-core scores of 4,044 place this chip at the entry tier for its generation. Cinebench R15 multi-core scores of 144 confirm this is among the more basic processors covered here.
