About Intel Celeron G1840
The Intel Celeron G1840 is a desktop processor with two cores and two threads, running at a fixed 2.80 GHz base clock with no boost capability. Built on Intel's 22 nm Haswell architecture and packaged for Intel Socket 1150, it carries a 54 W TDP and is listed as Active production. Its average benchmark score is 520, which places it at the 9th percentile of all CPUs — a low overall position that frames every more specific result in the data.
Benchmark Performance
The G1840's aggregate position is clear: an average benchmark score of 520 and a 9th percentile standing among all CPUs. The listed Cinebench results follow the same pattern. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the G1840 scores 152. In Cinebench R20, it scores 635 multicore and 89 singlecore. In Cinebench R23, it scores 1513 multicore and 213 singlecore. These are the raw performance data points available, and they place the processor firmly in the lower portion of the benchmark distribution.
Against its nearest rivals, the G1840 sits in a tight cluster. The AMD Phenom II X4 910 has an average score of 519, and the G1840 is 0.2% ahead. The AMD PRO A6-9500 averages 521, leaving the G1840 0.3% behind. The Intel Xeon L5408 averages 517, with the G1840 0.5% ahead. The Intel Core i3-3110M also averages 517, with the G1840 0.6% ahead. These deltas are small enough that the G1840 and its nearest rivals are effectively in the same performance band. The data does not support claiming a meaningful compute advantage over any of these four processors.
The cache configuration is part of the same low-end picture: 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and 3 MB of shared L3 cache. Those figures accompany the benchmark scores rather than appearing as performance numbers themselves, but they are consistent with the G1840's low aggregate standing.
Who Should Consider It
The G1840 is a purely dual-thread processor. With two cores and two threads, it offers exactly two execution contexts for software to use. That makes it a poor match for heavily threaded workloads such as video encoding, 3D rendering, or large compilation tasks. The multi-core Cinebench scores — 635 in R20 and 1513 in R23 — are not competitive with the broader CPU pool, and the 9th percentile standing reinforces that conclusion.
For office and light desktop use, the G1840 is more plausible. The integrated Intel HD (Haswell) graphics means a separate graphics card is not required for basic display output, and the fixed 2.80 GHz base clock provides a predictable baseline. Single-application workflows that do not need many threads can fit within this processor's capabilities.
For gaming, the low single-thread scores are the limiting factor. The Cinebench R20 singlecore score of 89 and R23 singlecore score of 213 indicate weak headroom for workloads that depend on one fast thread. Games with heavy CPU logic are therefore a poor fit. The multi-core scores are also modest, so gaming alongside other CPU-heavy tasks is outside the processor's intended envelope.
Power and Thermals
The G1840 has a 54 W TDP, placing it in a modest power class. The underlying process and physical data are also listed: the 22 nm process node, the 1,400 million transistor count, and the 177 mm² die size. Thermal behavior is not directly benchmarked in the data, but the 54 W TDP is the specification that defines the cooling tier. A cooler designed for that TDP class is the indicated level of cooling hardware.
There is no boost clock in the specifications, only a 2.80 GHz base clock. This means the processor does not have a higher advertised clock state to draw additional power or heat. The power and thermal profile is therefore tied to that fixed clock figure rather than to variable boost behavior.

Platform and Compatibility
The G1840 is built on the Haswell architecture and uses Intel Socket 1150. It supports DDR3 memory in dual-channel mode, and ECC memory is not supported. The platform includes PCIe Gen3 support. Integrated Intel HD (Haswell) graphics are part of the processor, so basic graphics functionality is included without a discrete card.
The processor was released on 2014-04-30 and remains marked Active. For upgrade planning, the defining constraint is the socket: any replacement CPU must remain within the Socket 1150 platform. The data does not enumerate which other Socket 1150 processors are available, so the concrete upgrade path depends on board-level compatibility rather than on information in this dataset.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
In Cinebench R20, the G1840 scores 89 in single-core and 635 in multi-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 213 in single-core and 1513 in multi-core. The single-core numbers are low in absolute terms, and the multi-core numbers, while higher, still leave the processor at the 9th percentile overall.
The core count and thread count are both 2, meaning there are no additional logical threads beyond the two physical cores. This has a direct consequence for software behavior: workloads that use only one thread receive no help from the second core, while workloads that can use both threads have exactly two threads available to them. The difference between single-core and multi-core results across R20 and R23 shows that the multi-core tests are able to make use of both cores, but the fixed 2.80 GHz clock and the low aggregate score cap the overall result.
For real workloads, this split means the G1840 is better suited to tasks that can use two threads than to single-thread-latency-sensitive tasks, but neither profile is strong. The single-core scores are especially telling for any application where response time depends on one thread's speed.
How It Compares
Against the AMD Phenom II X4 910, the G1840 is 0.2% ahead by average score. The Phenom II X4 910 averages 519, so the two processors land at essentially the same aggregate performance level in this dataset.
Against the AMD PRO A6-9500, the G1840 is 0.3% behind. The PRO A6-9500 averages 521, making it the only processor in the nearest-rival set that is ahead of the G1840 by average score.
Against the Intel Xeon L5408, the G1840 is 0.5% ahead. The Xeon L5408 averages 517, and the separation from the G1840's 520 average is small.
Against the Intel Core i3-3110M, the G1840 is 0.6% ahead. The i3-3110M averages 517, and this 0.6% delta is the largest edge the G1840 holds over any processor in its nearest-rival list.
Taken together, the nearest-rival comparison is a near dead heat. The G1840's 520 average sits between rival scores of 517 and 521, with no rival separated by more than 0.6%. Platform features such as socket, memory support, and integrated graphics matter more for differentiation than the raw compute deltas in this group.
