Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of Celeron J4005 specifications and capabilities.
Processing Power
The Celeron J4005 is a 2-core / 2-thread processor based on the Goldmont Plus (2017) architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 2.7 GHz from a base frequency of 2 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 4 MB of L3 cache, plus 4 MB (total) of L2 cache and 56 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 1,543, placing it in the Entry Level performance tier as a Legacy generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 450, while multi-core reaches 800.
