About processor

The Intel Celeron N2940 is a mobile processor from the Bay Trail-M platform, which is designed for low-power and cost-effective devices such as laptops and mini PCs. With a 22nm technology, this processor features 4 cores and 4 threads, providing decent multi-tasking capabilities for everyday computing tasks. One of the most impressive features of the Celeron N2940 is its low Thermal Design Power (TDP) of only 7W, which makes it an excellent choice for fanless and ultra-thin devices that require efficient power usage and minimal heat generation. In terms of graphics performance, the integrated Intel HD Graphics model offers satisfactory visuals for basic multimedia and casual gaming. While it may not be able to handle demanding gaming or graphic design tasks, it is more than capable of delivering smooth and crisp visuals for everyday use. Overall, the Intel Celeron N2940 processor is a solid choice for entry-level devices and budget-friendly laptops. Its energy efficiency, decent multi-tasking capabilities, and reliable graphics performance make it a suitable option for users who prioritize affordability and battery life over raw processing power.
