The Intel Celeron N3060 is a low-end dual-core SoC for notebooks.
The processor cores are based on the Airmont architecture, which is basically a
slightly modified shrink of the previous Silvermont core. While performance per
clock has not been improved, the more efficient 14 nm process leads to a better
utilization of the CPU Burst (alias Turbo Boost) and a therefore somewhat
higher overall performance.
The HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) is based on
the Intel Gen 8 architecture, which supports DirectX 11.2 and is also found in
the Broad well series (e.g. HD Graphics 5300). With 12 EUs (Execution Units) and a clock speed of up to 600 MHz,
the GPU is almost twice as fast as the HD Graphics (Bay Trail), but still not powerful enough to handle modern 3D
games. The dual-core
chips are clocked at 1.6 GHz base speed. The boost speed on the N3050 goes up to
2.16 GHz, while the N3060 can go up to 2.48 GHz. Depending on the cooling of the
SoC, the Boost clock rate of 2.48 can be held for longer periods and therefore
leading to a faster performance as the older Celeron N3050 that
can only reach 2.16 GHz. Its main features include Features include Intel HD
Graphics 400 (Braswell, 12 EUs, 320 - 700 MHz), Wireless Display, Quick Sync,
AES-NI, max. 8 GB Dual-Channel DDR3L-1600 (25,6 GB/s), 5x USB 3.0, 4x PCIe 2.0,
2x SATA 6.0 G bit/s. Have 64 bit support.Here Case quality is average around the base with some minor creaking when applying pressure on the keyboard and palm rests. The hinges are rigid up to their ~130-degree maximum angle with no teetering and we can observe no unintended gaps between materials. The lid is weaker and more susceptible to twisting as anticipated, but the outer lid in particular feels weak. Pushing down on the center of the outer lid with even minimal force will result in visible flexing.
The Celeron
N3050 and N3060 consume 6 Watts of power, as opposed to 7.5 W of Bay Trail CPU s.
Therefore, they are power-efficient processors and that’s their best feature
besides low cost.
