Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of Celeron 7305 specifications and capabilities.
Processing Power
The Celeron 7305 is a 5-core / 5-thread processor based on the Alder Lake-U (2022) architecture, manufactured on a Intel 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 1.1 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 8 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 1.25 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 80K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 2,520, placing it in the Entry Level performance tier as a Aging generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 641, while multi-core reaches 1,598. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 1,422.
