Intel Celeron N2830

Intel Celeron N2830 is a mobile processor in Intel's Celeron (Bay Trail) generation, built around the Silvermont architecture under the Bay Trail-M codename. It uses a 22 nm process with Intel as both manufacturer and foundry. The CPU contains 2 cores and 2 threads, with a base clock of 2.16 GHz and a boost clock of 2.41 GHz. The TDP is 7. Integrated graphics are provided by HD Graphics. The part is classified in the Mobile market segment and uses the Intel BGA 1170 socket. Its release date is February 22, 2014, and production status is Active. In the database, the percentile versus all CPUs is 50, and the average benchmark score is 0.

Platform and Compatibility

The N2830 is built for the Intel BGA 1170 socket. Memory support is DDR3, and ECC memory is not supported. The memory bus width and memory bandwidth fields are not present, so no channel capacity can be described. No PCIe information is listed, which leaves expansion interface details unavailable. The cache hierarchy is per core: 56 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core. There is no L3 cache in the record. The multiplier is locked, so the processor runs with the listed base and boost frequencies. The data set does not include upgrade-path information or a list of compatible replacement parts. The series field is not populated, and no part number is listed. Transistor count and die size are also absent, so the physical design is documented only through the 22 nm process and the Silvermont architecture. Production status is Active, and the release date is February 22, 2014. Together, these fields describe a mobile platform with a locked frequency and an unspecified PCIe interface.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array in the FACT PACK is empty. No names, scores, or deltaPct values are available for comparison. The only broad ranking field is percentileVsAllCpus, which is 50. That positions the N2830 at the midpoint of the database's all-CPU ranking. Without populated rival entries, no statement can be made about being ahead of or behind a specific product. The data simply has no nearest rival set for this processor. Therefore, this section records missing comparison data instead of measured deltas. A percentile of 50 is a broad rank, not a delta against any named chip. In a populated comparison set, a 50th percentile position could coexist with specific positive or negative deltas, but with an empty nearestRivals list no such values exist. The record cannot answer "how much faster or slower than model X" because model X does not appear in the data.

Power and Thermals

The TDP field is 7. This is the only power-related figure in the FACT PACK. A TDP of 7 places the processor in a very low thermal class, consistent with the Mobile market segment and with its low-frequency profile. The data does not specify a cooler type, fan configuration, heatsink size, or thermal solution. The implied cooling tier is minimal: the thermal demand is low enough that heavy cooling hardware is not indicated by the record. No temperature or sustained power measurements are included. The TDP value itself is the primary thermal signal. The 22 nm process is included in the same record, but no power-efficiency metric such as watts per unit of work is provided. Without case or cooler specifications, the cooling tier must be inferred from the single 7-watt thermal design point. The data does not indicate whether the intended system uses a passive or actively cooled design.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmarks array is empty. The average benchmark score field is 0, and the percentileVsAllCpus value is 50. The empty array and the 0 score together indicate that no measured scores are present. The 50th percentile ranks the processor at the midpoint of all CPUs in the database. However, because nearestRivals is empty, there are no deltaPct values to quantify distance from specific competitors. No single-thread, multi-thread, gaming, or productivity scores are present. Thus, the benchmark record provides a broad percentile position but no exact performance deltas. The percentile is the sole quantitative performance indicator in this entry. An average score of 0 with no benchmark entries means there are no positive or negative deltas to report. The absence of scores also prevents validation of whether the 50th percentile would remain stable across different workload types. For application-level performance, the data offers no measured result.

Who Should Consider It

The workload profile must be assembled from the listed processor characteristics rather than from benchmark scores. For office-style work, the 2 cores, 2 threads, and boost clock of 2.41 define a basic dual-thread configuration; no office benchmark scores are in the FACT PACK. For content creation, the lack of L3 cache, the absence of ECC support, and the 2-thread limit suggest heavy multi-threaded creation tasks are not supported by the data; no creation scores exist. For gaming, the integrated HD Graphics and dual-core setup provide a baseline graphical capability, but no gaming benchmarks are recorded. The Mobile segment and 7 TDP point toward low-power mobile systems, though the data does not name specific system types. Anyone relying on benchmark comparisons would need another record, because this one has no populated scores or rivals. For users focused on low-power operation, the 7 TDP and Mobile classification are the relevant signals. For users focused on application speed, the empty benchmark data prevents a quantitative recommendation.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The N2830 has 2 cores and 2 threads, so the thread count equals the core count. There is no extra logical-thread layer. Single-thread workloads can reach the boost clock of 2.41; this is the highest frequency listed. Multi-thread workloads can use both cores, but only two threads exist. The per-core cache configuration gives each core 56 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2, which means each thread has its own low-level cache resources. No L3 cache is listed, so there is no shared last-level cache in the record. This points to lightly threaded tasks as the more natural workload. Without single-thread or multi-thread scores, the behavior is inferred from the core, thread, cache, and clock fields rather than measured. The base clock of 2.16 and the boost clock of 2.41 define the frequency range for lightly loaded work. With only two threads, highly parallel workloads are capped at two execution streams, regardless of the clock speeds listed.
