Intel Celeron N4000 Review

Launched November 2017, the Intel Celeron N4000 is a 2-core, 2-thread entry-level processor built on Gemini Lake, running a 1.1 GHz base clock that boosts to 2.6 GHz within a 6 Watt TDP.

This dual-core chip, without hyperthreading, sits at the very entry level of Intel's mobile lineup, appropriate only for the lightest computing tasks on the most budget-focused devices.

Intel UHD Graphics 600

A minimal integrated GPU adequate for basic display output and light web browsing, with no meaningful gaming capability.

How Is the Celeron N4000 in Terms of Performance

As a genuine 2-core, 2-thread chip without hyperthreading, this processor is built for the absolute lightest computing tasks: basic web browsing and document viewing, with real difficulty handling multiple browser tabs or any background multitasking smoothly.

Benchmarks

Cinebench R23 multi-core scores of 277 (Cinebench R20) and Geekbench 5 multi-core scores of just 799 confirm this chip's positioning at the very bottom of the performance spectrum, well below the 4-core/4-thread N4120 covered elsewhere on this site.
