Intel Celeron N4020
The Intel Celeron N4020 is a dual-core, ultra-low-power mobile SoC based on the Gemini Lake Refresh platform. Aimed at the most affordable laptops and Chromebooks, it pairs a 6 W TDP with integrated UHD Graphics 600 for basic browsing, video playback, and light office work.
Pros
- Very low 6 W TDP suits fanless, budget laptop designs
- Hardware-accelerated decoding for AVC, HEVC, and VP9 video
- Can drive up to three external displays at 4K/60Hz
- Inexpensive and widely used in entry-level Chromebooks and laptops
Cons
- Only 2 cores and 2 threads, with no Hyper-Threading, limit multitasking
- Dated 14 nm Goldmont Plus cores trail newer N-series chips in every benchmark
- UHD Graphics 600's 12 execution units are too weak for modern 3D gaming
