Intel Celeron N4500

Released Jan 11, 2021Laptop ProcessorCore i7 check: Tier D

The Intel Celeron N4500 is a dual-core, ultra-low-power mobile SoC based on the Jasper Lake platform. Built for entry-level laptops and Chromebooks, it combines Tremont CPU cores with a 16 EU UHD Graphics unit and a 6 W TDP for basic web browsing, streaming, and office tasks.

Pros

  • Efficient 6 W TDP enables fanless, budget laptop designs
  • Tremont cores give a meaningful single-thread gain over the prior Gemini Lake generation
  • Faster DDR4/LPDDR4x memory support, up to 2933 MT/s
  • Hardware-accelerated decoding for AVC, HEVC, and VP9 video
  • Built-in Wi-Fi 6 support for better wireless performance

Cons

  • Only 2 cores and 2 threads limit multitasking and heavier workloads
  • 16 EU UHD Graphics is too weak for modern 3D games
  • Maxes out at 16 GB of memory
