For a while now Intel also sells Skylake processors in its lowest positioned line for desktops, namely the Celeron series. How much of all the improvements made in the top models is actually seen back here in the low-end segment? We tested a Celeron G3920, a processor you can get for 55 pounds.
The Celeron G3920, together with its little brother the G3900, represents Intel in the traditional low-end segment. You can expect a dual-core processor running at 2.9 GHz, without any Turbo Boost or HyperThreading for that kind of money. The G3900 is exactly the same as the G3920, except that it runs 100 MHz slower, as you can see in the table on the following page.
The TDP of the processor is 51 watts, while the cache memory has a size of 2 MB. The integrated GPU is a HD 510, also known as the GT1. It features 12 shaders, half the amount we see in the HD 530, which is present in faster desktop CPUs. The maximum clock frequency of the GPU is 950 MHz.
