Celeron G6900T vs Core i3-4360

The Celeron G6900T packs 2 cores / 2 threads, matching the Core i3-4360's 2 cores. Boost clocks reach 2.8 GHz on the Celeron G6900T versus 3.7 GHz on the Core i3-4360 — a 27.7% clock advantage for the Core i3-4360 (base: 2.8 GHz vs 3.7 GHz). The Celeron G6900T uses the Alder Lake-S (2022) architecture (Intel 7 nm), while the Core i3-4360 uses Haswell (2013−2015) (22 nm). In PassMark, the Celeron G6900T scores 3,668 against the Core i3-4360's 3,639 — a 0.8% lead for the Celeron G6900T. Geekbench 6 single-core — the metric most relevant to gaming — records 1,400 vs 1,128, a 21.5% lead for the Celeron G6900T that directly translates to higher frame rates. Both processors carry 4 MB (total) of L3 cache.

The Celeron G6900T uses the LGA1700 socket (PCIe 5.0), while the Core i3-4360 uses LGA1150 (PCIe 3.0) — making them incompatible on the same motherboard. Maximum memory speed reaches DDR5-4800 on the Celeron G6900T versus DDR3-1600 on the Core i3-4360 — the Celeron G6900T supports 50% faster memory, which can translate to measurable gains in memory-sensitive workloads. The Celeron G6900T supports up to 128 GB of RAM compared to 32 GB — 120% more capacity for professional workloads. Both feature 2-channel memory with ECC support. PCIe lanes: 20 (Celeron G6900T) vs 16 (Core i3-4360) — the Celeron G6900T offers 4 more lanes for additional GPUs or NVMe drives. Chipset compatibility: H610,B660,H670,Z690,B760 (Celeron G6900T) and H81,B85,Q85,H87,Q87,Z87,H97,Z97 (Core i3-4360).

Neither processor supports overclocking. Virtualization support: VT-x, VT-d, EPT (Celeron G6900T) vs VT-x, EPT (Core i3-4360). Both include integrated graphics — Intel UHD Graphics 710 (Celeron G6900T) and HD Graphics 4600 (Core i3-4360) — useful as a fallback for troubleshooting or display output without a dedicated GPU. Primary use case: Celeron G6900T targets Low Power Desktop, Core i3-4360 targets Mainstream Desktop. Direct competitor: Celeron G6900T rivals Pentium Gold G7400T; Core i3-4360 rivals Core i3-6100.
