Intel Celeron N4500 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T6770
Intel Celeron N4500
► remove from comparison
The Intel Celeron N4500 is a dual-core SoC of the Jasper Lake series that is primarily intended for inexpensive notebooks and was announced in early 2021. The two Tremont CPU cores clock between 1.1 and 2.8 GHz (single core Burst) and offer no HyperThreading. The N4500 uses 1.5 MB L2 and 4 MB L3 cache. The chip is manufactured on the first-gen 10 nm Intel process.
Architecture
The processor architecture is called Tremont and a complete redesign compared to the old Golmont Plus cores in the predecessor. According to Intel, the single thread performance of a core could is up two 30% better on average (10 - 80% in all tests of SPECint and SPECfp).
Features
In addition to the dual-core CPU block, the SoC integrates a 16 EU Intel UHD Graphics GPU clocked from 350 - 750 MHz and a dual-channel DDR4 / quad-channel LPDDR4(x) memory controller (up to 16 GB, up to 2933 MHz). The chip now also partly integrates Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes, 14 USB 2.0/ 3.2 ports and two SATA 6.0 ports. The package got bigger and measures 35 x 24 mm (compared to 25 x 24 mm for the N5030 e.g.). The SoC is directly soldered to the mainboard (BGA) and can't be easily replaced.
Performance
The average N4500 in our database shapes up to be a fairly slow processor, its multi-thread benchmark scores only just matching those of the Core i3-4010U. (The latter saw the light of day in 2013 as a lower mid-range, dual-core CPU designed for use in ultraportable laptops.) In other words, expect the Celeron to be painfully slow in all but the most basic activities.
You mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are.
Power consumption
Like most N-class Intel chips, the Celeron has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 6 W. This is not much at all and thus good enough for passively cooled tablets, laptops, mini-PCs.
The Celeron N4500 is built with Intel's 2nd generation 10 nm process (not 10 nm SuperFin or Intel 7) for low, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 is an entry level dual core processor for laptops. It is based on the Penryn core but offers only 2 MB level 2 cache and a slow clock rate of 2.1 GHz. Compared to the Core 2 Duo T6570, the T6500 does not offer Virtualization VT-x and is therefore aimed at consumer notebooks.
The performance should be suited for non demanding applications like office, internet, entry level video editing or image correction. CPU intense games may be limited by the power of the T6500.
Intel Core 2 Duo T6770
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core 2 Duo T6670 is a laptop processor based on the Penryn core. It offers only 2 MB level 2 cache and is therefore slower than other 2.3 GHz clocked Core 2 Duo CPUs.
