Intel Celeron N3060

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 g...
